Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Malaki Branham scored more in 2025-26, 0.3 points a game apart (4.6 vs 4.3), on Branham's heavier usage (17.7% vs 14.2%).

Branham is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 60.4% to 56.8%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Branham (0.8 vs 0.5 assists), the glass to Walker (3.0 vs 1.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Walker played 36 more games (64 vs 28 of 82).

With Walker on the floor his team outscored opponents by 0.0 per 100 possessions, against -8.8 for Branham; 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, Branham $2.5M through 2026-27. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
