Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jaylin Williams scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (7.2 vs 7.1), on Williams's heavier usage (15.3% vs 11.3%).

Williams is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.7% to 49.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Williams (2.4 vs 1.5 assists), the glass to Williams (5.5 vs 5.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Williams played 50 more games (65 vs 15 of 82).

With Williams on the floor his team outscored opponents by +11.5 per 100 possessions, against -9.9 for Black; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Williams $7.8M through 2027-28, Black — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
