Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Quentin Grimes scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (13.4 vs 13.0), on Williams's heavier usage (24.2% vs 18.3%).

Grimes is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 58.5% to 57.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Williams (3.9 vs 3.3 assists), the glass to Grimes (3.6 vs 2.9 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Grimes played 9 more games (75 vs 66 of 82).

With Grimes on the floor his team outscored opponents by -0.1 per 100 possessions, against -4.4 for Williams; 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, Grimes $14.0M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
