Chris Singleton On The Court

Friday night was the start of the Las Vegas Summer League and Chris Singleton of the Washington Wizards was ready to prove he deserves to be a starter.  Last year he did not have the opportunity to show his talents in the Summer League as the NBA was in a lockout.  

During Fridays game against the Atlanta Hawks, Singleton started off slow scoring only four points in the first half.  Then in the second half he came alive scoring 16.  He was 7 of 13 from the field and 5 of 8 from the free throw line.  The former ACC Defensive Player of the Year was all over the court, grabbing eight rebounds, four steals and two blocks.  The Wizards were unable to get the win losing to the Hawks by 20.  

Next the Wizards will play the Houston Rockets on Sunday.
