Kyle Edward Singler (born May 4, 1988, in Medford, Oregon),[1] is a college basketball player for the Duke Blue Devils.
High school
Singler attended South Medford High School and was ranked as one of the top 5 college recruits in the nation from the class of 2007, number 4 overall. In high school, he averaged 29.3 points per game and 10.6 rebounds per game as a senior.[2]
In 2007, Singler led South Medford to its first-ever state basketball championship, winning 58–54 over defending champion Lake Oswego and national standout Kevin Love.[3] A year earlier, Love and Lake Oswego had defeated Singler and South Medford for the state championship.
Singler was the first-ever freshman to start at South Medford, and he did so in two sports.
Singler was a member of the Legends AAU team, along with former UCLA player Kevin Love, and participated in many prestigious all-American camps, including the Nike All-American Camp (Indianapolis), the Nike Peach Jam (Augusta), and the Main Event (Las Vegas). Singler was also named to the 2006 U18 USA Junior National team, alongside fellow top prospects Michael Beasley, Jerryd Bayless, and 2006 star recruit Spencer Hawes. Singler is also one of eight players featured in the Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch movie, "Gunnin' For That #1 Spot", released in theaters on June 27, 2008, and currently out on DVD.
In October 2006, he signed a letter of intent to play college basketball at Duke.[4]
College
As a freshman, Singler played starting forward and finished the 2007–08 season with averages of 13.3 points per game and 5.9 rebounds per game, helping lead Duke to a 28–6 record. Singler ended the 2009 year as the top scorer for Duke.[5] After Duke lost to West Virginia in the second round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament, Singler put to rest any speculation that he might enter the 2008 NBA Draft, saying:
I didn’t give the NBA any thought, I know I’m not ready. I need to mature both physically and mentally. I want to get stronger and quicker, and I want to work on learning how to play the game. I’m at a great place for that.[6]
- 2009–10
In February 2010 Singler scored a career-high 30 points against Georgia Tech, as he hit a career-high 8 three-pointers in 10 attempts.[7] Playing Georgia Tech again in March, he had a career-high 14 free throws.[7]
On March 28, 2010, in an Elite Eight NCAA game, as Duke beat Baylor and advanced to the Final Four, Singler (667 points), Jon Scheyer (690 points), and Nolan Smith (628 points) became the second trio in Duke history to each score at least 600 points in a season. That same day he was voted ugliest player in Division 1 college basketball by the Associated Press. In 2001–02, Jason Williams, Carlos Boozer, and Mike Dunleavy, Jr. first accomplished that feat for Duke.[8]
As of April 4, Singler was also 5th on Duke's all-time list in offensive rebounds (271), and 7th in defensive rebounds (482).[9] Through April 4, for the season he was averaging 17.6 points and 6.9 rebounds per game.[10] He was 3rd in the ACC in 3-point field goal percentage (.396), 4th in scoring, 3-point field goals made (2.1 per game; his 8 against Georgia Tech were the most in the ACC in a single game for the season), and minutes (35.8 per game), and 7th in free throw percentage (.796).[11] Scheyer called him "the toughest player I've ever played with."[12]
Personal life
Singler's parents were both athletes at Oregon State University: his father, Ed Singler, was quarterback of the football team, and his mother, Kris Brosterhous, was on the basketball team. Four of Singler's uncles played Division I football or basketball.[1] His younger brother, E.J. Singler, plays basketball for the University of Oregon.[13]
