Florida State forward Chris Singleton defended so well against one of the draft class' best scorers, Jordan Hamilton of Texas, in the Golden State Warriors’ workout that he was ready to seek out established competition. Namely, Al Thornton - a top-notch scorer who is also from Florida State.

"I'm from Atlanta, so I'm not scared of anybody. I'm going to bring that toughness to whatever team drafts me," he said. "I feel like I'm the modern-day Scottie Pippen. I feel like I can do it all: pass, shoot, dribble and play defense."

Singleton, a lanky and nimble prospect, is considered by many scouts to be the best defender in this year's draft. The back-to-back ACC Defensive Player of the Year is one of only five players to finish among the top five in the conference in both steals and blocks in a single season.
