Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Zion Williamson scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (21.0 vs 20.9), on James's heavier usage (26.2% vs 25.0%).

Williamson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.4% to 59.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to James (7.2 vs 3.2 assists), the glass to James (6.1 vs 5.7 rebounds).

With James on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.6 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: James $3.9M through 2027-28, Williamson $42.2M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
