Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Ziaire Williams scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (10.2 vs 10.2), on Middleton's heavier usage (19.8% vs 17.9%).

Williams is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.9% to 53.3%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Middleton (2.8 vs 1.1 assists), the glass to Middleton (3.7 vs 2.4 rebounds).

With Williams on the floor his team outscored opponents by -10.1 per 100 possessions, against -11.1 for Middleton; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Middleton $5.6M through 2028-29, Williams $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
