BB vs JB shaft play?

Is shaft play the same on journal bearing as opposed to ball bearing turbos? Are the tolerances the same? I notice a bit more shaft play on my BB BBK-B than there is on my JB Red.

I've noticed that ball bearing turbos need oil in them to properly gauge shaft play, journal not so much.
