This is what allows us to have Luka and two guards on the floor without any issues. See Joker for reference. I don't think anyone is going to deny he's a point center.
You can describe Luka as point forward if you wish. But the fact that he is a PG, also allows us to play two shooting guards or one guard and one wing instead of a PG and SG. This is what allows Mavs to have a bigger team on the floor without sacrificing any playmaking. Average PG is much smaller than Luka.
I would say while Jokic is a point center, he is not really Denvers PG. That is Murray and I think Denver always plays with a PG on the floor. Jokic is just very good at facilitating and creating, but he is not running PnR, for example.
