Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jalen Williams scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (17.1 vs 16.9), on Williams's heavier usage (25.2% vs 23.3%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (56.4% vs 56.0%).

Playmaking goes to Nembhard (7.7 vs 5.5 assists), the glass to Williams (4.6 vs 2.8 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Nembhard played 24 more games (57 vs 33 of 82).

With Williams on the floor his team outscored opponents by +11.7 per 100 possessions, against -10.0 for Nembhard; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Nembhard $19.6M through 2027-28, Williams $41.5M through 2030-31. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
