Do the Boston Celtics need a new point guard?

Do the Boston Celtics need a new point guard after most of a decade with the role never firming up under any one player over time?

On the other hand, star forward Jayson Tatum has been seen as a capable offensive creator and could grow into a point forward type of role similar to how Luka Doncic plays with the Dallas Mavericks. Could it make more sense to try to go the Tatum route?
