Brandon Knight isn't an NBA caliber starting PG. He's a tweener guard whose primary skill is scoring the ball, and he should be coming off the bench and playing with the 2nd unit at the NBA level.
If the Pistons are going to start a scoring guard at PG, they may as well play Bynum, who shits all over Knight in regards to scoring the rock. Even Stuckey is a better scoring point.
Now, if they are playing Knight just for experience, that's fine... but then why do the Pistons insist on playing vets like Maxiell over a future stud like Drummond? Either you're playing to win games, or you're playing for the future. Doesn't seem like Pistons know what they're playing for.

yeah, knight sucks. He has big games, but hes not as good as stuckey. Frank is a disaster as a coach. They need to start stuckey with singler and let knight play the backup sg. They need to start drummond and bring in JJ as the backup pf or cv depending on matchup. Very disappointing season. Not because I expected this team to be great, but because of the terrible rotation management by frank. Drummond is one of the best centers in the game already and he hardly plays. Monroe is massively overmatched by true 5s and needs to have a better defender next to him.

A good coach would break up his minutes between all 4 quarters so he can get his most impactful player more time while still getting him rest. I am just waiting for Gores to finally realize he needs to dropkick this midget down I75.
