Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Zion Williamson scored more in 2025-26, 0.6 points a game apart (21.0 vs 20.4), on Sengun's heavier usage (25.9% vs 25.0%).

Williamson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.4% to 56.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Sengun (6.2 vs 3.2 assists), the glass to Sengun (8.9 vs 5.7 rebounds).

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

With Sengun on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.4 per 100 possessions, against -1.9 for Williamson; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Sengun — through —, Williamson $42.2M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
