Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Coby White scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (17.4 vs 17.1), on White's heavier usage (28.3% vs 25.2%).

White is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.5% to 56.0%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Williams (5.5 vs 4.0 assists), the glass to Williams (4.6 vs 3.4 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: White played 17 more games (50 vs 33 of 82).

With Williams on the floor his team outscored opponents by +11.7 per 100 possessions, against +3.2 for White; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: White $22.8M through 2028-29, Williams $41.5M through 2030-31. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
