Rodney Stuckey, who recently signed a three-year deal with the Pistons, is expected to play more shooting guard this season.

Detroit drafted Brandon Knight in the 2011 Lottery and he is expected to receive a lot of point guard minutes along with Will Bynum.

"It's early, we're just playing around, mixing up the lineup and stuff like that," Stuckey said after practice. "I know this year I'm going to be playing a little more two while Will or Brandon are in the game."

Stuckey has been Detroit's primary point guard during the past three seasons.

"It doesn't really matter to me, as long as I'm on the court helping my team out," Stuckey said. "I'm willing to do whatever to help my teammates out."

Lawrence Frank believes his system allows his players to be versatile.

"To me, I just call our guys guards, forwards and front-line players," Frank said. "He's an attacker. We want him to live in the paint. We want him to get to the free-throw line. On defense, we think he can be an elite defender. We want him to show all those gifts."
