Singleton headed to Washington

Washington took Florida State junior forward Chris Singleton with the 18th pick in the first round of the NBA Draft on Thursday. The 6-foot-9 Singleton left the Seminoles after his junior year. He averaged 13.1 points and 6.8 rebounds in 28 games. He missed six games when he fractured his right foot in February. Known as a defensive specialist, Singleton recorded a triple-double against North Carolina-Greensboro with 22 points, 11 rebounds and 10 steals. It was the 24th triple-double in ACC history - and the first with 10 or more steals. Grunfeld said he was surprised that Singleton was still available with the 18th pick - and so was his new forward. "To tell you the truth, I didn't expect me to be around that long," Singleton said in a conference call. "I feel like my value is higher than where I got picked."
