Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Grant Williams scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (7.0 vs 6.7), on Love's heavier usage (16.1% vs 13.2%).

Williams is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.9% to 56.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Love (1.8 vs 1.6 assists), the glass to Love (5.8 vs 3.9 rebounds).

With Williams on the floor his team outscored opponents by +12.9 per 100 possessions, against -6.7 for Love; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Williams $14.3M through 2026-27, Love — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
