Strengths: Tremendous shooter off the dribble from mid-range or the three point shot … Demonstrates maturity and leadership qualities, which weren't apparent as a junior … Savvy player who has a great feel for the game … Quality passer in transition where he shows decent court vision in recognizing where teammates are on the floor … Singletary is a great ball handler, which enables him to do a great job of breaking defensive presses geared to slow him down … Owns a solid first step and change of speed dribble that he uses to gain separation from his defender … Defensively, he has the physical tools of quick hands and great lateral movement … Excels in the open court where his speed and creativity are given the space to work … Does a great job of being aggressive in order to draw fouls from opposing defenders … Once at the free throw line he is an excellent shooter … Clutch player who wants the ball in his hands in critical moments … Gets a good deal of his assists from dishing out to open teammates when he drives to the basket … Approaches the game with toughness as he will play through injuries … Creative scorer who will use a number of hesitations, pump fakes and step-backs to create scoring opportunities for himself on the perimeter … A great deal of this is possible despite his average height because of Singletary’s quick release, which needs little time … Extremely confident in his ability … A gym rat who is reported to own a good work ethic …

Weaknesses: Singletary lacks the ideal stature that NBA teams covet - standing at 5-11 to 6-0 there will be match-up concerns against the NBA’s bigger point guards … Can get a little too carried away and single minded in scoring instead of involving teammates, but to his credit this issue has somewhat improved this year … Shot selection is a work in progress … Has a tendency to go for the spectacular pass, which accounts for some of his turnovers … Lacks several point guard qualities that are a staple for point guards on the next level, such as decision making, playing controlled and, most importantly, making those around you better … Defensively, he remains too concerned reaching for steals instead of staying in front of his man … Mindset on defense could have something to do with this as he approaches defense as a chore and not a challenge … With his build and aggressive playing style durability could be a concern … Has problems running a half court offense efficiently and struggles to score as smoothly … Perimeter shooting from mid-range can go through periods of inconsistency … Lacks the long arms and body length to finish in traffic when driving to the basket … Could be a post-up target for bigger point guards … Is viewed by some scouts as a player that will need to be in the right system in order to be effective in the NBA …
