Who is the better shooter: Luka Doncic or Nikola Jokic? (alien.top)

Today, I came across some upvoted comments saying that Luka is a superior shooter to Jokic, which kind of surprised me. I understand that the difficulty of shots influences your field goal percentage (FG%), but even when you include the difficulty and volume of your shots, in my opinion, Jokic is still the better shooter.

Below are their respective career FG% by distance (in feet) in the regular season.

	2P	0-3	3-10	10-16	16-3P	3P	FT	TS%
Jokic	.607	.716	.577	.501	.467	.348	.828	.632
Luka	.555	.726	.500	.457	.407	.341	.739	.583

Luka takes the most difficult 3pointers in the league and makes them at 50%

so leading the league in these highly contested shots at 16

while shooting these at 16/32 50%
