Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Cameron Johnson scored more in 2025-26, 0.6 points a game apart (12.2 vs 11.6), on Walker's heavier usage (20.0% vs 14.4%).

Johnson is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.9% to 54.3%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Walker (2.5 vs 2.4 assists), the glass to Walker (5.1 vs 3.8 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Walker played 22 more games (76 vs 54 of 82).

With Johnson on the floor his team outscored opponents by +9.5 per 100 possessions, against -11.1 for Walker; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Johnson $23.1M through 2026-27, Walker $8.5M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
