Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Tyrese Maxey scored more in 2025-26, 6.1 points a game apart (28.3 vs 22.2), on Maxey's heavier usage (28.6% vs 27.4%).

Maxey is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.8% to 56.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Maxey (6.6 vs 5.2 assists), the glass to Banchero (8.4 vs 4.1 rebounds).

With Maxey on the floor his team outscored opponents by +1.5 per 100 possessions, against -0.2 for Banchero; 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, Maxey $40.8M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
