Where the gap is

from the numbers above

Julian Reese scored more in 2025-26, 0.2 points a game apart (11.8 vs 11.6), on Walker's heavier usage (20.0% vs 17.3%).

Reese is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 55.7% 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 1.8 assists), the glass to Reese (10.5 vs 5.1 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Walker played 63 more games (76 vs 13 of 82).

With Walker on the floor his team outscored opponents by -11.1 per 100 possessions, against -11.8 for Reese; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

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