“Not even close” is a bit of an exaggeration. Do you not consider Booker to be the best SG in the game? (Tbh I think the only competition he has for best SG is Mitchell)

Is it? Luka can't even stay in shape

It's a dumb question with an obvious answer.

Their games aren't even similar.

genius logic

Idk Luka is probably like the 4th or 5th best player in the league and Booker is probably 8th or 9th best

It's still Luka overall yes but I do think that this comment section is somewhat overestimating the gap

I think Luka is better, and more importantly he’s younger, so he’s the obvious answer to this question. But if we’re just talking right now, saying they don’t “remotely compare” is stupid.

I’d argue that Booker is easier to build around because he could fit into every team in the league. He’s a better defender than Luka and he’s a FAR better off-ball player than Luka.

(Again, yes I agree Luka is better but they’re absolutely “comparable”, they’re both top 10 players)

Ok - not “remotely compare” is a bit harsh on Booker…wasn’t Booker 36PPG at 70% TS in the playoffs last year? Luka’s playoff runs are legendary but Booker has shined as well

booker this season is averaging 30/9 on 65%ts. while luka is averaging 30/8 on 61%ts. small sample size but so far booker is having a better season. and he just had a playoff run where he averaged 34 on 70%ts lmao. yea lukas better but it’s not this huge gap ur making it out to be. luka is also like a top 5 worst defender in the league. and while booker isnt an insane defender, he’s still a clear positive on defense and has gotten better at it each year. booker is a much better fit to most teams too, he can play off ball, much better catch and shoot played, can push in transition and disrupt the game if he locks in defensively. the mavs offense has devolved into a slow luka pnr on literally every play, which boosts up lukas box score numbers more than what his impact actually is

Also read something interesting. There are two players in the top 7 in both scoring and assists. Luka and Booker.

I genuinely believe Luka and Booker are going to parallel Lebron and KD. Not in terms of achievements clearly, but in terms of their play styles, it’s the closest. Booker has got to the best pure scorer of this new generation while Luka has more of an ability to do a bit of everything

People genuinely think there’s an enormous gap between the two. There isn’t (and that is coming from someone who thinks Luka is better)

Nah that’s cap I’d like to see the team that would rather have booker

Name a team in the league you’d rather have booker than luka on

I'll trade the other guys to make Luka fit.

Come on.

Edit: we talking about Luka Garza right?

So would Dallas
