Brandon Knight is off to a good start for the Detroit Pistons

Found December 30, 2011 on Pistons Locker:
PLAYERS: Brandon Knight,  Ben Gordon,  Rodney Stuckey
TEAMS: Detroit Pistons

20-year old rookie point guard Brandon Knight is off to an outstanding start to his career for the Pistons. In his first 2 games (0 starts), Knight is averaging 22.5 minutes, 16.0 points, 1.0 rebound, 3.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game. He is shooting 59.1% from the floor (13 of 22) and 54.5% (6 for 11) from three point range so far this year. It’s only a matter of time until Knight bumps Ben Gordon or Rodney Stuckey to the bench if he keeps playing like he is right now.

Via Detroit Free Press  |  December 31, 2011
A 12-point road loss at Indy. A 16-point thumping at the hands of the Cavs at home. And finally a 96-85 beating at the hands of the previously winless Celtics on Friday night. And with a schedule featuring seven straight playoff teams (Indy tonight, Orlando, Chicago twice, Philadelphia, New York and Dallas) it's pretty safe to assume things will get worse before they get better.
