Sean Singletary, one of the most electric players ever to run the floor for UVA, was drafted in the second round of the NBA draft last night, going to the Sacramento Kings with the 42nd pick of the draft. “I think he’s a really good pick in the second round,” said analyst Jay Bilas during ESPN’s coverage.
His name was called earlier than predicted by just about every mock draft, most of which had the point guard going unpicked. In interviews leading up to the NBA draft, Singletary dismissed talk that he would go undrafted, saying that he had a possibility of going in the first round. He’s the first Cavalier picked in the draft since Roger Mason, Jr. went in 2002.
As a second round pick, Singletary won’t be guaranteed a contract and will have to work to make the team this summer.
