I don't think Luka will ever clamp PGs, though his defense when he engages is highly underrated.
LaMelo could bring that to the table.
The 25 and under talent in the league is absolutely bonkers!
That's where I'd skew. He'd speed and quickness give him some potential on defense, but right now that's all it is, potential. There are also some beneficial elements to that speed and quickness on the offensive end. Luka plays at his own pace masterfully because that's what his athleticism allows him to do. Melo just has another gear or two.
