Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jaylin Williams scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (7.2 vs 6.9), on Wagner's heavier usage (23.7% vs 15.3%).

Williams is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.7% to 54.5%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Williams (2.4 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Williams (5.5 vs 3.2 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Williams played 29 more games (65 vs 36 of 82).

With Williams on the floor his team outscored opponents by +11.5 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 $7.8M through 2027-28, Wagner $9.3M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
