Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kevin Porter Jr. scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (17.4 vs 17.1), on Williams's heavier usage (25.2% vs 23.6%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (56.0% vs 56.7%).

Playmaking goes to Porter Jr. (7.4 vs 5.5 assists), the glass to Porter Jr. (5.2 vs 4.6 rebounds).

With Williams on the floor his team outscored opponents by +11.7 per 100 possessions, against -4.7 for Porter Jr.; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Williams $41.5M through 2030-31, Porter Jr. $5.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
