Huh?  Not a real position?  https://bleacherreport.com/articles/7119...f-all-time

Q: When Lebron and Luka aren't playing from the point, what position do you say they're playing?  
A: SF/PF

Joker plays from the point, right?  You consider him a PG?

Point is a role.  Positions are PG, SG, SF, PF, & C.  You can play from the point in any of the 5 positions.  Joker.  Pippen.  Wilt.  Draymond.  Luka.  Lebron.  Bird.  Magic (comeback was a PF).  B.Simmons.  Giannis.  Durant.  Walton.  A.Sabonis.  They all played significant time at the point.  None of them are guards.

The only reason this matters is that you Luka fills our need for a starting SF.  You can start him with 2 guards (Kyrie/J.Green).  As I stated before, I'd love a T.Eason/OG type of SF who can be our POA defender, starting 2 SFs instead of 2 guards.

I don't think it's useful to add the word point to the front of every position just because the guy playing the position can handle the ball.  Joker plays 100% of his minutes at the center position.  He doesn't bring the ball up the court on dead balls, and being able to dribble and pass at a high level doesn't make you the point guard.

You can say point is a role, but guard and forward are not roles, they are specific positions on the court, and Luka spends almost none of his minutes offensively in the positions that are traditionally occupied by a forward, and asking your best player to change positions would a very unusual strategy.
