Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Mikal Bridges scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (14.4 vs 14.1), on Jones's heavier usage (18.6% vs 17.0%).

Jones is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 63.7% to 58.7%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Jones (5.4 vs 3.7 assists), the glass to Bridges (3.8 vs 3.1 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Bridges played 17 more games (82 vs 65 of 82).

With Bridges on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.0 per 100 possessions, against -3.8 for Jones; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Bridges $33.5M through 2029-30, Jones $8.0M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
