Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Luguentz Dort scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (8.3 vs 8.0), on Williams's heavier usage (19.2% vs 13.9%).

Williams is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 59.2% to 52.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Dort (1.2 vs 1.0 assists), the glass to Dort (3.6 vs 2.1 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Dort played 55 more games (69 vs 14 of 82).

With Dort on the floor his team outscored opponents by +8.0 per 100 possessions, against -15.1 for Williams; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Dort $18.2M through 2026-27, Williams — through —. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
