Larry Drew has no doubt that Brandon Knight can produce as a point guard in the NBA.

Knight played significant minutes at shooting guard last season for the Pistons.

"I don't know where this, 'Is he a point guard, is he a shooting guard?' came from," Drew said. "He's always, in my eyes, been a point guard. (He's) a point guard that has the ability to score, and that's a big, big luxury. At 21 years old he's played a lot of games already in the NBA."

Drew sees plenty of potential in Knight.

"What he brings to the table is what a coach looks for at that position, the speed, the quickness," Drew said. "The ability to make shots, the ability to get to the lane. The ability to make other people better.

"It's going to be my job, it's going to be my responsibility to elevate his game and to continue to teach him. Hopefully he'll continue to grow."
