Of course he is a certified long shot. But at a fairly chiseled (see link below) 7' 255 and a reputation for blocking shots, he could be fun to watch. Donnie Walsh had Singleton in to audition with the Stephen Curry group. Either the Knicks needed a live body to complete the Las Vegas roster, or Walsh/D'Antoni might have liked some quality that Dennis Felton could not maximize at Georgia.

Rashaad Singleton Tries for NBA
Rashaad Singleton was in elite company earlier this month when he worked out for the NBA's New York Knicks. Singleton joined Stephen Curry, Duke guard Gerald Henderson, UCLA guard Jrue Holiday, and Ohio State's B.J. Mullens in the workouts.

Although Singleton was not drafted, he is working to follow his dream. Perhaps he can get a look with the D-League or an international squad.

Ira - returning veterans Darko and Jeffries are not going to get it done at center.

You need three centers in a man's NBA

Just think, John Starks was bagging groceries at Safeway before he dunked on Jordan and Horace Grant in the Playoffs

The good news for Singleton is the Knicks desperately need a defensive presence in the middle. Jared Jeffries played center last season by default. Eddy Curry is a huge question mark. Darko Milicic is the frontrunner. Sene is raw.

Defense is Singleton's specialty.

Three crap centers...are still three crap centers. They don't magically equal one good center.

It's not as if he has been signed and is on our final roster.

Maybe he showed something against Mullens.

Another can't lose pick-up. I wish we could have picked up Josh Heytvelt, but perhaps he did not impress the Knicks as much as Singleton did. Who knows?

Dont we have a lot of guys who can play Center on this roster?
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Perhaps some of them won't be around for the entire season.

The Answer Man Never Made A Casting Call

Q. kam77 - Dont we have a lot of guys who can play Center on this roster?

A. I would rather the person at the five spot not simply play center, but play center effectively and preferably dominantly.

Jeffries - too skinny

Lee - much too weak on defense (and too on the market)

Sene - see Jeffries

Wilcox - too gone

Chris Hunter - too much of an unknown

Darko Milicic - too much baggage

Eddy Curry - too distracted

Al Harrington - too short

Jordan Hill - too new

Raw or not

7' and a sculpted, muscular 270 pounds is nothing to dismiss

Three isn't enough. I'd like to see at least five or six centers on the Knicks.
