Exactly.  The NBA shifted to this before college, and while, aside from Jokic, most team's assist leader is labeled a PG, it's much more spread around.  Most teams aren't running the offense through a single PG.  There's no John Stockton out there. Giannis, Tatum, even Embiid gets over 4 assists a game.

UConn is running the closest thing to a modern NBA offense I've seen in the college game.  Now, if you've got Nowell at K-State and very few other playmakers, you aren't running that.  You're running a traditional offense.  Most teams in college are going to be forced into something more like that.  Hurley is intentionally building the roster differently.

As for our playmakers, don't forget about Donovan as one of those.  I know he has a rep as a good passer, but flashed it only occasionally this year.  Next year I challenge teams to stop his lobs to Johnson or Jackson, and think he can kick the ball out to shooters quite easily.
