Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Grant Williams scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (7.0 vs 6.9), on Wagner's heavier usage (23.7% vs 13.2%).

Williams is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.9% to 54.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Williams (1.6 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Williams (3.9 vs 3.2 rebounds).

With Williams on the floor his team outscored opponents by +12.9 per 100 possessions, against -10.0 for Wagner; 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, Wagner $9.3M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
