Is Tony Allen our Back-Up Point Guard?

Celtics fans spent a good portion of the pre-season discussing the advantages of playing Gabe Pruitt at the back-up point guard.

The chief advantage was giving Doc the flexibility of moving Eddie House over to the two.

Tony Allen never entered the back-up point guard discussion.

Why should he?

Don't we already have 4 point-guards on the roster?

Well, best I can tell, the answer to that question is, no, we don't.

Tony Allen seems to be getting the ball-handling responsibilities on the second unit.

Looks like the Boston Celtics are starting the 2008-09 NBA season with FIVE point guards on their roster.
