Kyle Singler signs with Spanish team

Via Yahoo!’s Adrian Wojnarowski:

"Detroit Pistons’ draft pick Kyle Singler has reached agreement on a contract with Alicante of Spain’s top professional league, Singler’s agent told Yahoo! Sports.Singler’s deal with Alicante contains an out clause that will allow him to return to the NBA if the league-imposed lockout ends, said Singler’s agent, Greg Lawrence."

This is a good thing for Singler. With no Summer League and most likely a shortened camp, it’s going to be hard for him or any second round pick to expect to contribute much their rookie season. I hope Vernon Macklin takes the cue and lands a deal for himself overseas as well.
