Luka is infinitely more talented than Parsons is. His ball handling and passing is on a whole other level, and even his scoring skills are superior. I would actually also project him to be a much better shooter as well, Parsons was never really a great shooter, and definitely not a natural shooter. A natural shooter does not average 68, 72% or even 74% from the line in seasons when he is healthy. That's LeBron range, and that's NOT a natural shooter. Luka's form is much better, his shots have better trajectory, and if you factor in that he took a lot of heaves and step back threes, there is no reason to think that he could not be a very good shooter from day 1, and possibly elite surprisingly soon.
