I see JC as a playmaker because of 3 things: He can score on his own, he can handle the ball and he can facilitate for others. The keyword here is "can". He can definitely score, his handles are good, not very advance but enough to go to places with the ball, and he has decent vision, just enough to recognize open teammates.
And it's not like JB left a huge void in the assists department. JB can pass too obviously, but I can't help but feel he often has the blinders on, and more than willing to score on his own than pass.
