Senior guard Sean Singletary has been selected to collegehoops.net's Preseason All-America team. The senior from Philadelphia decided to forgo the NBA draft this past summer and return to the Cavaliers for his final season.
Singletary finds himself in good company on the All-America team. Joining him are forwards Chase Budinger (Arizona) and Tyler Hansborough (North Carolina), center Roy Hibbert (Georgetown) and guard Chris Lofton (Tennessee).
Singletary led the Cavaliers to the NCAA Tournament in the 2006-07 season for the first time since 2001.
Last year, he averaged 19.0 points, 4.7 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game. He led the team in minutes played, points, assists, three-point field goals made, free-throw percentage and steals.
He was named an All-ACC guard in 2007 (also earning the honor in 2006), as well as being named a third-team All-America selection by collegehoops.net and the National Association of Basketball Coaches.
Singletary and the Cavaliers will look to improve on last year's second-round exit to Tennessee in the NCAA Tournament starting Nov. 11, when they take on Vermont in the first game of the 2007-08 regular season at the John Paul Jones Arena.
