Chris Singleton was the most NBA-ready of the Wizards’ three draft picks last season. It didn’t mean he was ready for the grind of the NBA.

The rookie small forward went on to play in 66 games, tied for the most on the roster. Most nights, he got taught lessons from the NBA’s best scorers. He averaged 4.6 points and 3.5 rebounds while shooting 34.6 percent from 3-point range. But hopefully, there’s a benefit to the punishment in his second season, which begins this week with minicamp and Las Vegas summer league.
