Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Luka Doncic scored more in 2025-26, 12.5 points a game apart (33.5 vs 21.0), on Doncic's heavier usage (36.8% vs 25.0%).

Williamson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.4% to 61.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Doncic (8.3 vs 3.2 assists), the glass to Doncic (7.7 vs 5.7 rebounds).

With Doncic on the floor his team outscored opponents by +3.8 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: Doncic $49.8M through 2028-29, Williamson $42.2M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
