Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Tyrese Maxey scored more in 2025-26, 6.6 points a game apart (28.3 vs 21.7), on Maxey's heavier usage (28.6% vs 26.2%).

Powell is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.9% to 58.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Maxey (6.6 vs 2.5 assists), the glass to Maxey (4.1 vs 3.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Maxey played 12 more games (70 vs 58 of 82).

With Maxey on the floor his team outscored opponents by +1.5 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: Powell $21.5M through 2027-28, Maxey $40.8M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
