Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Stephen Curry scored more in 2025-26, 5.6 points a game apart (26.6 vs 21.0), on Curry's heavier usage (30.8% vs 25.0%).

Efficiency is a wash: true shooting within a point of each other (63.7% vs 64.4%).

Playmaking goes to Curry (4.7 vs 3.2 assists), the glass to Williamson (5.7 vs 3.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Williamson played 19 more games (62 vs 43 of 82).

With Curry on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.8 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: Curry $62.6M through 2028-29, Williamson $42.2M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
