Singletary traded to fourth different team
Write a letter to the editor
Sean Singletary was always hard for any opposing defense to pin down when he played at John Paul Jones Arena. Now the former Cavalier and NBA rookie can’t seem to pin down a permanent address. Yesterday, the Phoenix Suns traded Singletary to the Charlotte Bobcats, making the Bobcats the fourth different team that’s acquired Singletary this year. In June, the Sacramento Kings drafted Singletary in the second round of the NBA Draft, only to trade him to the Houston Rockets in August, who then traded Singletary to the Suns later that month. Singletary had been averaging 2.6 points in 9.4 minutes per game for the Suns.
Unfortunately, it’s not looking like Sean is facing a very long NBA career. 4 trades in 7 months isn’t a good sign (and neither is fewer than 3 points a game). Not that there’s anything to be ashamed of - MOST college players never make it in the NBA. It’s just such a different game, and at 5-11 you’d better be the second coming of Calvin Murphy if you want to have a real shot at making it. And there will never be another Calvin Murphy.
It too soon to say it’s over for Sean. No it’s not a good sign but if his salary and play are right he may be able to eek out a career.
Good Luck Sean, I’m rooting for you!
Sean has yet to be on a team long enough to to learn a system. He hasn’t had the chance to build a “on-court” relationship with players yet. Once he is able to stay in one place long enough I have confidence he’ll produce decent numbers.
dude’s getting passed around like a blunt
