Walsh is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.3% to 56.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Walsh (0.8 vs 0.8 assists), the glass to Walsh (4.0 vs 1.6 rebounds).

Availability is part of the comparison: Walsh played 13 more games (68 vs 55 of 82).

With Walsh on the floor his team outscored opponents by +5.1 per 100 possessions, against -5.5 for Howard; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Howard — through —, Walsh $2.4M through 2029-30. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
