Expert Analysis
Simmie Colson | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Singleton went off during the playoffs, dropping 25 in SIMMIE’S, but she’s been going off since I first saw her. Her ability to handle the ball under pressure and apply baseline-to-baseline heat has been solid all season, yet she also adds explosiveness in the backcourt, which played a big part in their win see evaluations here

Singleton has shown me she can SINGLEhandidly take games over, as I did a little “play on words” with her last name. Her play “on the court” keeps getting better as she applies heat on both ends, yet here’s the deal, her explosiveness and outside shooting equals upside as I continue to watch what’s coming, see evaluations here

Singleton gave me the HEZ to get by defenders, yet she also showed me that “first step” to leave them cemented to the court, but her body control on her finishes after contact was another plus. She’s an athletic guard who uses her athleticism on both ends and her “on the ball” pressure as well as playing the passing lane, which led to turnovers see evaluations here

Singleton impressed me initially at the #GirlsThanksgivingDayHoopfest as she was explosive off the dribble to score, dove for loose balls, and applied “baseline to baseline” heat to create havoc see evaluation here. I caught back up with her in August at an Individual Showcase, and what do I always say I look for? For those who don’t pay attention “on the court” progression, and not only did she create her shot under pressure, she dropped the jumper while being defended, “stop and pop” included, see evaluation here

Singleton singlehandedly took games over several times, and watching her blow by defenders to score off the dribble was nice, yet so was seeing her drop the jumper while being defended. I hadn’t seen her all club season; she left a lasting impression when I caught her in high school, but her NBA range looked good, and so did her “stop and pop” jumper in transition. She rebounded and went coast to coast a few times, she battled for loose balls, and she saw the floor, but her “on the ball” pressure also stood out

Singleton is an athletic guard who uses her athleticism on both ends, so let me start with the “on the ball” heat she showed me throughout the game as she did a good job defending baseline to baseline, as well as in the set yet her first step is going to be special as she’s already showing she can blow by the defender to score, after contact, using nice body control. She also played the passing lane
