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.
Melo's got his own athletic gifts though that Luka will not have because of his size. I'm not arguing for Melo over Luka, but Melo has a lot of the traits that make Luak fun to watch (3 moves ahead and an infectious joy while playing).
