It's possible that he spoke to LeBron, who expressed reservations about
being in that position from the first game.  I think they'll still likely
play him at the point a fair bit, but I do think it's a bit ambitious for
Silas to declare him the starter after summer league.  Still, it must be
dosconcerting for players in that position.
