Season Averages: 9.6 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 0.9 APG, 0.7 SPG, 0.5 BPG, FG% 44.7, 3PT% 38.2, FT% 82.6

Kyle Singler showed signs of improvement in his sophomore season, and he definitely has the potential to become a specialist within the league. In almost identical minutes to his rookie season, Singler not only increased  his points per game this year, but also his shooting percentages. After spending the early part of the season as one of the first men off the bench, he was promoted to the starting lineup under interim head coach John Loyer.

In need of improving: Defense. Singler should focus the majority of his offseason efforts on the defensive end of the floor. With improved defense, Singler could push himself into the highly sought after category of “3-and-D” guys.

Grade: B-
