No, because how/where they handle the ball is completely, night and day different.
One is a PG, the other is a center who handles the ball a ton, relative to others at his position.

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.
This ^^^
I can't believe we don't have consensus on this. Luka is 100% playing PG for the Mavericks and has been since the back half of his rookie season.
