Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Kevin Durant scored more in 2025-26, 5.0 points a game apart (26.0 vs 21.0), on Durant's heavier usage (26.3% vs 25.0%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (64.1% vs 64.4%).

Playmaking goes to Durant (4.8 vs 3.2 assists), the glass to Williamson (5.7 vs 5.5 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Durant played 16 more games (78 vs 62 of 82).

With Durant on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.5 per 100 possessions, against -1.9 for Williamson; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Durant $43.9M through 2027-28, Williamson $42.2M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
