Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Norman Powell scored more in 2025-26, 0.9 points a game apart (21.7 vs 20.8), on Powell's heavier usage (26.2% vs 23.0%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (61.0% vs 60.9%).

Playmaking goes to Alexander-Walker (3.7 vs 2.5 assists), the glass to Powell (3.5 vs 3.4 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Alexander-Walker played 20 more games (78 vs 58 of 82).

With Alexander-Walker on the floor his team outscored opponents by +4.0 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: Alexander-Walker $14.4M through 2028-29, Powell $21.5M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
