Why do Sengun and Sabonis get compared to Jokic instead of each other?

For whatever reason both get compared to Jokic but don’t really have the same game at all. Sengun and Sabonis are not bigs reliant on elite footwork in the post nor are 'Point Centers '. Both are honestly no more than good pssers at their position but they do not orchestrate offenses.

Why do they get compared to Jokic who plays a completely different style rather than each other who have the same style.

    Sabonis is very strong and heavily favours his dominant left hand. He also gets most of his assists from handoffs and cutters. Sengun is one of the most ambidextrous players in the league and he generates offense and does pg style assists. He is maybe even bolder with his passes than Jokic is. Sengun is much more similar in style to Jokic but is arguably even more pg like due to him diving and kicking out or diving and dunking a lot.
