Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Nikola Jokic scored more in 2025-26, 2.7 points a game apart (27.7 vs 25.0), on Wembanyama's heavier usage (31.6% vs 28.9%).

Jokic is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 67.0% to 62.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Jokic (10.7 vs 3.1 assists), the glass to Jokic (12.9 vs 11.5 rebounds).

With Wembanyama on the floor his team outscored opponents by +17.0 per 100 possessions, against +10.8 for Jokic; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Jokic $59.0M through 2027-28, Wembanyama $16.9M through 2031-32. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
