Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Patrick Williams scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (7.0 vs 6.9), on Wagner's heavier usage (23.7% vs 15.9%).

Wagner is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 54.5% to 49.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Williams (1.5 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Wagner (3.2 vs 3.0 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Williams played 36 more games (72 vs 36 of 82).

With Wagner on the floor his team outscored opponents by -10.0 per 100 possessions, against -11.0 for Williams; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Wagner $9.3M through 2027-28, Williams $18.0M through 2028-29. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
