Yes they are. Just because you are not in LGP does not mean you do not have the right to your position on the floor. All LGP does is give the defense some options to keep in front of the a ball handler and move to maintain a legal position. But if I got to a spot first and did not move towards that ball handler, I am still able to hold my position legally.
