Knight wants to be more vocal

During his rookie season Pistons' guard Brandon Knight averaged 12.8 points and 3.8 assists per game but now the young guard is ready to take another step forward.  He wants to take a leadership role with the team and become more of a vocal leader while also addressing how he can be better as a player.  Knight expressed this desire while speaking to The Detroit News.

"That's the biggest thing," Knight said. "Doing whatever it takes to help this team take the next step. Holding my teammates accountable....It's something that just happens, getting to know guys better," Knight said "Making sure you're getting a feel for how guys work, that you're always talking. It's real simple stuff, but it goes a long way....The biggest thing is communication, helping guys feel comfortable. Making those situations work for them.....The terminology is tough, whether you're naturally used to it or not. When a guy makes a call and you can't register it quickly, you're a step behind.....Me, individually, how can I improve as a player? (Frank) is always about 'how do we make ourselves better,'" Knight said. "I feel like I played well (last year). For me, I'm never satisfied, there's always things I can do better, even if I'm the MVP."
