While creation is probably the most important skill in basketball, its not the only skill.  Dorian is the backbone of our defense and wildly better on that side of the court than any of the guys you mentioned.  And he does that while being a net positive on offense (even though he does not create) and you cannot say that about any of those other guys defensively.  

Creation is the most important skill, which is why Luka is head and shoulders above everyone else, but after him I think Dorian's high level defensive play in conjunction with his positive contributions on offense puts him in the number 2 spot.  It does not hurt that he has led the team in total minutes 2 of the last 3 years.  

Also, if creation is your driving criteria, that would be even more reason to go for Bogdan over Timmy.

I would agree that Dorian is as important as Luka, so I'm to biased to rate him.
But as a basketball player THJ is more talented. And his skills are more rare.

Bogdanovic is a secondary creator.
He needs someone to cause a crack in the defense first.
THJ can cause such crack or get a reasonable shot up himself.
