The Sacramento Kings selected Virginia point guard and 2008 graduate Sean Singletary during the second round of the 2008 NBA Draft June 26.
Though Singletary hoped to be selected in the first round of the draft, he may have been fortunate to receive a second-round pick, as some pundits predicted he would not be selected in either round of the draft.
Singletary said he thought he would be selected once he saw teams were selecting guards early.
"I saw guards going earlier so I knew I was going to go later," he said.
Singletary said he was not watching the draft when he was selected, but said he was excited that Sacramento chose him with the 42nd pick.
