from the numbers above

Jokić is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 67.0% to 54.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Jokić (10.7 vs 2.6 assists), the glass to Jokić (12.9 vs 4.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Jokić played 15 more games (65 vs 50 of 82).

With Jokić on the floor his team outscored opponents by +10.8 per 100 possessions, against -1.3 for Sharpe; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Jokić $59.0M through 2027-28, Sharpe $20.1M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
