Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Pascal Siakam scored more in 2025-26, 1.8 points a game apart (24.0 vs 22.2), on Siakam's heavier usage (29.2% vs 27.4%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (56.6% vs 56.2%).

Playmaking goes to Banchero (5.2 vs 3.8 assists), the glass to Banchero (8.4 vs 6.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Banchero played 10 more games (72 vs 62 of 82).

With Banchero on the floor his team outscored opponents by -0.2 per 100 possessions, against -5.6 for Siakam; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Banchero $41.5M through 2030-31, Siakam $48.9M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
