Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Zion Williamson scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (21.0 vs 20.8), on Sharpe's heavier usage (29.3% vs 25.0%).

Williamson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 64.4% to 54.6%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Williamson (3.2 vs 2.6 assists), the glass to Williamson (5.7 vs 4.3 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Williamson played 12 more games (62 vs 50 of 82).

With Sharpe on the floor his team outscored opponents by -1.3 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: Sharpe $20.1M through 2029-30, Williamson $42.2M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
