Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Luka Dončić scored more in 2025-26, 9.9 points a game apart (33.5 vs 23.6), on Dončić's heavier usage (36.8% vs 27.5%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (60.9% vs 61.6%).

Playmaking goes to Dončić (8.3 vs 6.1 assists), the glass to Dončić (7.7 vs 3.7 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Dončić played 10 more games (64 vs 54 of 82).

With Dončić on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.8 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 2026-27, Dončić $49.8M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
