I don't know - that's his AAU coach speaking.  AAU is really up and down, it's not so much a half-court style that you see in HS.  I can see Howard being better situated as a PG in that style...half-court is his issue for most people.

I'm just not sure I put any weight into one random quote from Keith Stevens that may have been a question about whether he CAN play PG for SU.  It's just not clear.  I'm not even necessarily disagreeing with you, or agreeing with the other side, I just don't know that you're countering with that quote is helpful at all as a counterargument to the OPs point, fwiw.  From another article on syracuse.com:

"Howard can play shooting guard or point guard. He has been used primarily at shooting guard, but his high school coach Glenn Farello and his AAU coach Keith Stevens said [URL='http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2014/04/class_of_2015_guard_franklin_howard_will_announce_college_choice_this_month_syra.html']Howard's skills as a passer and floor general[/URL] would allow him to excel at the point.

The distinction is important because Howard will provide insurance at point guard for next year's freshman Kaleb Joseph, the likely successor to the departing Tyler Ennis. The Orange has lost underclassmen point guards to the NBA Draft in each of the last two seasons."
