Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Donovan Clingan scored more in 2025-26, 0.4 points a game apart (12.1 vs 11.7), on Williams's heavier usage (16.7% vs 16.3%).

Williams is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 68.0% to 60.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Clingan (2.1 vs 1.0 assists), the glass to Clingan (11.6 vs 8.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Clingan played 17 more games (77 vs 60 of 82).

With Clingan on the floor his team outscored opponents by +0.1 per 100 possessions, against -2.0 for Williams; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Clingan $7.5M through 2027-28, Williams $11.7M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
