Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Mark Williams scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (11.7 vs 11.7), on Queen's heavier usage (21.4% vs 16.7%).

Williams is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 68.0% to 54.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Queen (3.7 vs 1.0 assists), the glass to Williams (8.0 vs 7.1 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Queen played 21 more games (81 vs 60 of 82).

With Williams on the floor his team outscored opponents by -2.0 per 100 possessions, against -6.7 for Queen; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Queen $5.4M through 2028-29, Williams $11.7M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
