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 Sharpe's heavier usage (29.3% vs 26.2%).

Powell is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.9% to 54.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Sharpe (2.6 vs 2.5 assists), the glass to Sharpe (4.3 vs 3.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Powell played 8 more games (58 vs 50 of 82).

With Powell on the floor his team outscored opponents by +0.6 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: Powell $21.5M through 2027-28, Sharpe $20.1M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
