Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Tari Eason scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (10.5 vs 10.2), on Eason's heavier usage (18.1% vs 17.9%).

Williams is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.9% to 51.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Eason (1.5 vs 1.1 assists), the glass to Eason (6.3 vs 2.4 rebounds).

With Eason on the floor his team outscored opponents by +6.5 per 100 possessions, against -10.1 for Williams; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Eason $14.1M through 2030-31, Williams $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
