標題[外電] Suns Acquire Sean Singletary
時間Tue Aug 26 07:32:23 2008
The Phoenix Suns announced today that the club has acquired rookie guard Sean
Singletary from the Houston Rockets in exchange for guard D.J. Strawberry.
“Sean gives us depth at the point guard spot,” said Suns President of
Basketball Operations and General Manager Steve Kerr. “We like his instincts
and his ability to run a team. He also puts a lot of pressure on the ball
defensively. We thank D.J. for his contributions and wish him well.”
In Singletary, the Suns acquire a dynamic 6-0, 185-point rookie guard, who
was the 42nd overall selection (second round) of the Sacramento Kings in the
2008 NBA Draft. Singletary was then traded to the Rockets along with Patrick
Ewing, Jr. in the deal that sent Ron Artest to Houston in exchange for Donte
Green, Bobby Jackson and a future first-round pick on August 14, 2008.
Singletary was a member of the Kings’ 2008 Las Vegas Summer League squad,
averaging 5.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 32.2 minutes with
appearances in each of the club’s five games.
A four-year standout at Virginia, Singletary was a three-time All-Atlantic
Coast Conference First Team selection. During his senior season of 2007-08,
the soon-to-be 23-year-old led his team in scoring for the second-straight
season (19.8 points) and was the lone Division I player to rank in the top 40
in both scoring and assists. That production earned Singletary an Honorable
Mention All-America Selection from the Associated Press and made him a
finalist for the Bob Cousy Award, given annually to the nation’s top
collegiate point guard.
A three-time co-captain for the Cavaliers, Singletary finished his career as
the only player in ACC history with 2,000 career points, 500 assists, 400
rebounds and 200 steals. Singletary’s jersey was retired by Virginia before
his final home game.
Strawberry was selected by the Suns with the 59th overall pick (second round)
of the 2007 NBA Draft. In his rookie campaign with Phoenix in 2007-08, the
6-5, 201-pound guard averaged 2.2 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 8.1
minutes, appearing in 33 games.
The Phoenix Suns open their 41st season of play with an exhibition contest on
Wednesday, Oct. 8 at US Airways Center, hosting the Atlanta Hawks at 7 p.m.
Phoenix then hosts the first outdoor NBA game of the modern era on Saturday,
Oct. 11 at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, Calif. in a
preseason contest against the Denver Nuggets that will be carried nationally
on TNT. The Suns tip-off the regular season at San Antonio on Oct. 29 on ESPN
and the club’s 2008 home opener will be the next night, Oct. 30, against New
Orleans on TNT.
