Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jordan Walsh scored more in 2026-27, 0.1 points a game apart (4.4 vs 4.3), on Smith's heavier usage (17.6% vs 13.0%).

Walsh is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 50.9% to 48.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Smith (2.7 vs 0.7 assists), the glass to Walsh (3.7 vs 0.7 rebounds).

With Walsh on the floor his team outscored opponents by +2.7 per 100 possessions, against -3.9 for Smith; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Smith — through —, Walsh $2.4M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
