Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Anthony Edwards scored more in 2025-26, 7.8 points a game apart (28.8 vs 21.0), on Edwards's heavier usage (30.9% vs 25.0%).

Williamson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.4% to 61.7%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Edwards (3.7 vs 3.2 assists), the glass to Williamson (5.7 vs 5.0 rebounds).

With Edwards on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.5 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: Edwards $48.9M through 2028-29, Williamson $42.2M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
