Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Tyrese Maxey scored more in 2025-26, 4.1 points a game apart (28.3 vs 24.2), on Porter Jr.'s heavier usage (29.2% vs 28.6%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (59.5% vs 58.8%).

Playmaking goes to Maxey (6.6 vs 3.0 assists), the glass to Porter Jr. (7.1 vs 4.1 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Maxey played 18 more games (70 vs 52 of 82).

With Maxey on the floor his team outscored opponents by +1.5 per 100 possessions, against -6.6 for Porter Jr.; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Porter Jr. $40.8M through 2026-27, Maxey $40.8M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
