David Singleton, SG, 6-4, 205

Prospect Rating: ★★★★ | Position Ranking: 16 | National Ranking: 85

What He Brings

Singleton is strong, aggressive and fast. You can see that he plays with certain passion and determination whenever he s on the court. He is also a player that can score from almost any place on the court. He’s relentless in driving to the basket and will often use his speed to run past defenders. He also possesses a steady outside shot which will be a bonus for him to play in Steve Alford’s offense.

How He Will Fit

Alford wants his team to get up and down the court as fast as possible. He wants to use the transition game to his advantage, have his players slash to the basket, shoot from outside and score as quickly as possible. Singleton is a player that can do all of that for him and should be a welcome addition for the way the Bruins play.

How Many Minutes Will He Play

20-25 minutes. Singleton will also be in competition for a lot of playing time. His energy will help carry him and the Bruins with this uptempo offense and that is something
