Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Ziaire Williams scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (10.2 vs 10.1), on Williams's heavier usage (17.9% vs 14.4%).

Jones Jr. is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.0% to 57.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Jones Jr. (1.4 vs 1.1 assists), the glass to Jones Jr. (3.5 vs 2.4 rebounds).

With Jones Jr. on the floor his team outscored opponents by +4.0 per 100 possessions, against -10.1 for Williams; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Jones Jr. $10.5M through 2026-27, Williams $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
