neither are the best player on your team and zo is more equipped to not be the best player on your team, so him. age doesnt really have a place in this discussion, so i dont wanna hear nothing about the age diff.

Zo is a better complimentary piece if you already have a complete squad.
Melo is the better overall player and has a much, much higher upside. At his peak he'll likely be second-best-player-on-contender level. Lonzo will always be a GREAT role-player.

Melo is the better player and has a chance to be a star.
Lonzo is a fantastic complementary player and will be in the league for a long time.

Lonzo is obviously a bit more refined being so much older, but Lamelo is clearly the true star talent of the family. He is already a better player and has abilities Lonzo does not have the capability to match. I do like both of their games.
Stats wise Lamelo has him covered in PPG/RPG/APG, PER, WS/48, BPM, EPM, VORP. Lonzo has him defensively, but nowhere else as a talent.

I think Lonzo is better. Playing in the West and having to develop your game every year with not making the playoffs have made him a star in the East.

12ppg & 5 apg on 56% TS is a star?

Lamelo is averaging 19/8/8 is at the top end of a few advanced metrics. It's legit not even close and the fact they're brothers will never make this question any harder. It's tired.

Lonzo gives you everything you need in a role player.
- Can hit the 3 efficiently and in volume
- Solid playmaker
- Solid defender
- Intangibles
LaMelo however has a star ceiling.

I could see Lavar push LaMelo to Chicago

Lonzo is who he is and he's a solid player. But LaMelo is already better than him right now and he hasn't reached his potential yet.

Ball is trying to bring that family connectivity to the Bulls. He said he met with the team’s executive vice president of basketball operations and lobbied him to “get all three of” his sons: Lonzo, LiAngelo and LaMelo.
“By themselves, they are good. But together, they’re great,” Ball said.

LaMelo. But Lonzo is the perfect compliment to most teams being a 3 and D pass first PG

LaMelo...
But Lonzo's defense is just nuts. He is a great role player now that he can hit threes.

LaMelo and it is not close. That ring said I am loving watch Lonzo play defense. Depends what your team needs I guess. On the Bu,,s Lonzo is likely a better fit but that’s not the question.

LaMelo just turned 20. He is still a few years away with experience and growing into body/adding strength from being an unstoppable player
