Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Keon Ellis scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (6.7 vs 6.5), on Williams's heavier usage (17.8% vs 12.9%).

Ellis is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.9% to 56.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Williams (1.4 vs 1.0 assists), the glass to Williams (3.3 vs 1.9 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Ellis played 16 more games (72 vs 56 of 82).

With Williams on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.1 per 100 possessions, against -4.8 for Ellis; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Williams $5.0M through 2026-27, Ellis $8.8M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
