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

Thoughts?

Jokic is statistically among the greatest mid-range shooters (10FT-3PT) of all time.
