Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jordan Poole scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (13.4 vs 13.0), on Williams's heavier usage (24.2% vs 23.5%).

Williams is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.2% to 53.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Williams (3.9 vs 3.1 assists), the glass to Williams (2.9 vs 2.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Williams played 27 more games (66 vs 39 of 82).

With Williams on the floor his team outscored opponents by -4.4 per 100 possessions, against -7.9 for Poole; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Williams $2.4M through 2026-27, Poole $34.0M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
