Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Jarred Vanderbilt scored more in 2025-26, 0.1 points a game apart (4.4 vs 4.3), on Walker's heavier usage (14.2% vs 11.9%).

Walker is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 56.8% to 54.4%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Vanderbilt (1.3 vs 0.5 assists), the glass to Vanderbilt (4.5 vs 3.0 rebounds).

With Vanderbilt on the floor his team outscored opponents by +0.2 per 100 possessions, against 0.0 for Walker; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Walker $2.6M through 2026-27, Vanderbilt $12.4M through 2027-28. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
