Well 6'2 shooting guards who are volume shooters, don't possess elite athleticism and can't play D usually don't do to well in the league. As Allen said, he needs Duke more than Duke needs him, I'm not saying he's ever going to be Nash or Rondo, but he'll learn how to distribute somewhat playing in that offense.

He's 6'4. That's not really "THAT" undersized at the 2 spot right now.

Point guards aren't made.
Maybe he'll be Evan Turner lite.

He's a senior in high school
Not everyone is as physically gifted like Lebron coming out of HS.

He doesn't need to be a full time point. You guys say that like there aren't 6'4 combo guards out there.

My statement was just saying in general...haven't watched enough of the kid play to say what his true position is.

Only weakness I have seen is that he could work on his left more since he seems to do most moves/dribbling with/towards right

Why do people keep bringing up his PG ability? He won't be playing the 1 at Duke nor in the league when he gets there. And he has another year before he even gets to Duke...you don't think he's gonna bulk up between now and then?
Only thing I worry about is what will become of Seth and Dawkins PT. Hopefully Seth shows just enough ball handling and decision making skills to slide over and allow K to play a combo of Quinn/Thornton/Curry/Rivers/Dawkins throughout 40 minutes and not have to go with Quinn/Thornton at the 1 and then stick with Curry/Rivers/Dawkins at the 2.
Nolan and Scheyer interchanged and played off each other perfectly last year.
