Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Luka Dončić scored more in 2025-26, 8.5 points a game apart (33.5 vs 25.0), on Dončić's heavier usage (36.8% vs 31.6%).

Wembanyama is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.6% to 61.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Dončić (8.3 vs 3.1 assists), the glass to Wembanyama (11.5 vs 7.7 rebounds).

With Wembanyama on the floor his team outscored opponents by +17.0 per 100 possessions, against +3.8 for Dončić; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Dončić $49.8M through 2028-29, Wembanyama $16.9M through 2031-32. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
