Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Paul George scored more in 2025-26, 0.6 points a game apart (17.3 vs 16.7), on George's heavier usage (22.9% vs 19.4%).

Anunoby is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.0% to 57.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to George (3.6 vs 2.2 assists), the glass to George (5.3 vs 5.2 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Anunoby played 30 more games (67 vs 37 of 82).

With Anunoby on the floor his team outscored opponents by +9.2 per 100 possessions, against +3.6 for George; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Anunoby $42.5M through 2028-29, George $54.1M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
