He already is special and crazy fun to watch. He is a basketball savant in a lot of the ways Luka is as well. Just another one of the insanely bright young talents that the NBA will be able to build their brand on for the next two decades.
A big difference in their game is one LaMelo will never be able to close the gap on though. LaMelo is 180 pounds...Luka is 230.
What Luka can do in the post and in the mid range makes him the type of gravitational three level offensive talent that you don't see very often.
In 5 years a lot of Luka and LaMelo's games may be equal...but Luka will always have that size and strength that LaMelo never will.
