Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Taylor Hendricks scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (7.4 vs 7.3), on Jović's heavier usage (20.3% vs 15.7%).

Hendricks is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 56.6% to 48.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Jović (2.2 vs 0.9 assists), the glass to Hendricks (3.7 vs 3.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Hendricks played 12 more games (59 vs 47 of 82).

With Jović on the floor his team outscored opponents by -0.8 per 100 possessions, against -10.7 for Hendricks; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Jović $16.2M through 2029-30, Hendricks $7.8M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
