Good handle on the ball and has great playmaking skills to read what he sees and create for others.

Michael Singleton (Wilbur Cross, CT) is a point guard with extreme athleticism powered by his lengthy wingspan that he uses to his advantage. Drives through traffic to get to the basket led by his ability to get downhill quick. Solid ball handler with good touch around the basket and elevates to knock down shots over taller defenders.

Can get to the basket at will on drives led by a combination of dribble moves and eurosteps to finish at the rim.
