Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Will Riley scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (10.3 vs 10.2), on Riley's heavier usage (19.6% vs 17.9%).

Williams is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 57.9% to 54.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Riley (2.0 vs 1.1 assists), the glass to Riley (2.9 vs 2.4 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Riley played 18 more games (74 vs 56 of 82).

With Williams on the floor his team outscored opponents by -10.1 per 100 possessions, against -14.1 for Riley; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Riley $3.7M through 2028-29, Williams $2.4M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
