Here is another scouting report from Walterfootball. Singler is compared to Luke Babbitt and Gordon Hayward, both of whom are supposedly too slow for the NBA.

Weaknesses:
[*] Needs to add strength
[*] Lacks ideal lateral quickness to guard NBA small forwards
[*] More of a finesse finisher meaning he gets his shot blocked too often around the basket
[*] Struggles against athletic defenders
[*] Tends to force shots and settle for his jumper too often
Summary: Singler surprised many by deciding to return for his
senior season especially after helping lead Duke to the national title.
He is a great college player but does not have the ideal traits that
translate to a successful pro. However, if Gordon Hayward can go ninth
overall and Luke Babbitt 16th overall in this past draft, there is no
reason to believe Singler will fall out of the first round and could
possibly be taken in the late lottery by a team looking for immediate
help.
Player Comparison: Mike Dunleavy. Both Dukies are
perimeter-based forwards who rely more on their outside shooting than
ability to attack the basket. Dunleavy struggles on the defensive end
in the NBA which is likely a similar fate to what Singler can expect
since he is not physical enough to bang with fours but not quick enough
to guard most threes.
