Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Elijah Harkless scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (6.8 vs 6.5), on Williams's heavier usage (17.8% vs 16.2%).

Williams is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 56.9% to 47.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Harkless (2.9 vs 1.4 assists), the glass to Williams (3.3 vs 2.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Williams played 30 more games (56 vs 26 of 82).

With Williams on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.1 per 100 possessions, against -2.5 for Harkless; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Harkless — through —, Williams $5.0M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
