Position: Small Forward

Age: 28

Contract: 4 years/19 million

2015-2016 Stats: 3.4 ppg, 38.9% fg, 30.9% 3P fg

If you’ve read me before (and I’m sorry if you have” you’ll be surprised by Singler’s placement. Surely I would have put him 15th. Okay Singler isn’t THAT bad.

I hate to admit it, but Singler has looked solid this preseason. He’s obviously confident in his jump shot, I just question if that confidence can last an entire season. If so, Singler will rise up in these rankings.

As of now, the 28-year old is the backup small forward for Andre Roberson. Singler capitalized in Roberson’s absence this preseason, averaging 16 points a game and shooting an incredible 9-12 from behind that three-point line. Sounds like the NBA’s 2017 Most Improved Player!!! (lol just kidding)
