Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Wendell Carter Jr. scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (11.8 vs 11.7), on Williams's heavier usage (16.7% vs 15.6%).

Williams is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 68.0% to 61.7%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Carter Jr. (2.0 vs 1.0 assists), the glass to Williams (8.0 vs 7.4 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Carter Jr. played 18 more games (78 vs 60 of 82).

With Carter Jr. on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.2 per 100 possessions, against -2.0 for Williams; 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, Carter Jr. $18.1M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
