Norman Powell vs Zion Williamson

Norman Powell scored more in 2025-26, 0.7 points a game apart (21.7 vs 21.0), on Powell's heavier usage (26.2% vs 25.0%).

Williamson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.4% to 60.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Williamson (3.2 vs 2.5 assists), the glass to Williamson (5.7 vs 3.5 rebounds).

With Powell on the floor his team outscored opponents by +0.6 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: Powell $21.5M through 2027-28, Williamson $42.2M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
