2nd rounders

[Jeff White]

If Virginia's Sean Singletary decides to stay in the draft and is available
at No. 32, I'd take him before Green.  I've covered Singletary the past
three seasons for the Richmond paper, and he's been surrounded by
considerably less than talent than has Green.  Singletary is only 5-11, but
he's a high-character guy from a good family and a sensational athlete who
would probably kill to have a big man on his team who could catch and dunk.

Singletary's assists totals aren't overly impressive, mainly because he
hasn't had anyone that good, other than J.R. Reynolds, to pass to.  And he's
a much better shooter than his percentage might suggest.  I can only imagine
how good he could be in a situation where he didn't have to carry the team
on his back.

Cheers,


JPW
