Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Keyonte George scored more in 2025-26, 2.7 points a game apart (23.6 vs 20.9), on George's heavier usage (27.5% vs 26.2%).

George is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.9% to 59.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to James (7.2 vs 6.1 assists), the glass to James (6.1 vs 3.7 rebounds).

With James on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.6 per 100 possessions, against -8.6 for George; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: George $6.6M through 2031-32, James $3.9M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
