Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Karl-Anthony Towns scored more in 2025-26, 3.0 points a game apart (20.1 vs 17.1), on Towns's heavier usage (25.1% vs 21.4%).

Holmgren is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 65.3% to 61.9%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Towns (3.0 vs 1.7 assists), the glass to Towns (11.9 vs 8.9 rebounds).

With Holmgren on the floor his team outscored opponents by +16.1 per 100 possessions, against +7.0 for Towns; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Holmgren $41.5M through 2030-31, Towns $57.1M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
