Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kevin Love scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (6.7 vs 6.5), on Love's heavier usage (16.1% vs 12.0%).

Ighodaro is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 63.6% to 56.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Ighodaro (2.3 vs 1.8 assists), the glass to Love (5.8 vs 5.1 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Ighodaro played 45 more games (82 vs 37 of 82).

With Ighodaro on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.1 per 100 possessions, against -6.7 for Love; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Love — through —, Ighodaro $2.3M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
