Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Nikola Jovic scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (7.3 vs 6.9), on Wagner's heavier usage (23.7% vs 20.3%).

Wagner is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 54.5% to 48.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Jovic (2.2 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Jovic (3.3 vs 3.2 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Jovic played 11 more games (47 vs 36 of 82).

With Jovic on the floor his team outscored opponents by -0.8 per 100 possessions, against -10.0 for Wagner; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Wagner $9.3M through 2027-28, Jovic $16.2M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
