[外電] Singletary goes to Sacramento

        After months of workouts, meet-and-greets, and speculation, recently
graduated UVA point guard Sean Singletary finally learned of his professional
basketball fate when deputy commissioner Adam Silver announced that with the
42nd overall pick, the Sacramento Kings had made Singletary one of theirs.
在歷經(不是人妖那個)種種活動，當副主席Silver宣布國王在42順位選了singletary
為他們的一員，singletary才得知他未來的籃球路。

Singletary is the first Cavalier to be chosen in the NBA Draft since the
Chicago Bulls drafted guard Roger Mason in 2002.
single是自從公牛在2002年選了RM之後的第一個騎士在NBA被選的球員。

While nobody doubted Singletary could come through in the clutch— most
notably for the Cavaliers when he made an off-balance, last-second shot to
beat Duke in 2007— but some wondered if his 5′ 11〃, 185 lb. frame was too
slight to play in the NBA, even as a point guard. But ESPN analyst Jay Bilas
kept singing Singletary’s praises into the second round, saying, “He’s
being undervalued. He can play in the NBA.”
沒人會懷疑single在關鍵時候的能力--最耳熟能詳的就是在騎士的時候，他在失去平衡
且最後一秒的情況下投中一球，也因此打敗了藍魔鬼。但有些人認為，他太過於小隻，
就算是打PG也是一樣。但ESPN分析家Jay對在第二輪簽下single大大的讚美，他說"他
被低估了，他可以在NBA生存"

Not that Singletary heard the kind words. So cool was the Philly native that
he confesses to the Philadelphia Daily News this morning that he wasn’t even
watching the draft, instead opting to hang out at a friend’s house who didn’
t have cable. “I knew it was going to happen,” he says. “But still, it was
nice. My agent was hearing I could go anywhere from 18th to 48th. So though I
guess it would have been nice to go earlier, I’m happy with how it turned
out.”
single並沒有聽到任何消息。土生土長的費城人對費城日報坦承他並沒有看選秀會，而
是在朋友家和朋友在一起，而朋友家並沒有cable。"我知道將要發生"single說"但，依
然很棒。我的經紀人聽說我也許會在18到48之間。所以我猜應該沒有這麼早。我很開心
出來了"

For those Wahoo fans who remember the early ’80s rivalry between UVA center
Ralph Sampson and Georgetown big man Patrick Ewing, the next pick in the
draft was not without significance. The Kings also possessed the 43rd overall
selection, and with it made Georgetown forward Patrick Ewing, Jr. a teammate
of Singletary’s.
對於記得80年代早期UVA的中鋒RS和喬治城尤英之間的對決，下一個選秀有很重要的意
義。國王在43順位選了喬治城前鋒Jr.， single的隊友。
