2nd rounders

[Berry, Mark S]

I like Singletary also.

No reaction to the rumors today that Yi is the Celtics' guy at 5? 

Personally, I'm terrified.

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
