Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Nic Claxton scored more in 2025-26, 0.0 points a game apart (11.7 vs 11.7), on Claxton's heavier usage (17.5% vs 16.7%).

Williams is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 68.0% to 59.2%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Claxton (3.7 vs 1.0 assists), the glass to Williams (8.0 vs 6.9 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Claxton played 9 more games (69 vs 60 of 82).

With Williams on the floor his team outscored opponents by -2.0 per 100 possessions, against -12.9 for Claxton; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Williams $11.7M through 2028-29, Claxton $23.1M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
