“Water, water, everywhere, [but not a] drop to drink” is a famous line from a super-old poem that I never really understood growing up. However, after witnessing the Phoenix Suns’ backup point guard situation this season, its meaning becomes crystal clear.
To make the quote apply to the Suns, you might rephrase it like this:
“Back up point guards everywhere, but not a guy to play.”
If you include combo-guard Tyler Johnson, the Phoenix Suns have five point guards on their active roster. In addition to Johnson, there is Ricky Rubio, Ty Jerome, Elie Okobo, and Jevon Carter.
