Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Luka Doncic scored more in 2025-26, 11.8 points a game apart (33.5 vs 21.7), on Doncic's heavier usage (36.8% vs 26.2%).

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

Playmaking goes to Doncic (8.3 vs 2.5 assists), the glass to Doncic (7.7 vs 3.5 rebounds).

With Doncic on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.8 per 100 possessions, against +0.6 for Powell; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Doncic $49.8M through 2028-29, Powell $21.5M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
