Blazers try out ex-Duke star Kyle Singler

Kyle Singler, the Oregon native who helped Duke to a national title in 2010, worked out for the Portland Trail Blazers in advance of next week's NBA draft.

Singler says the Blazers are the 10th team he's worked out for, with two more to go. He is expected by many to go late in the first round of next Thursday's draft.

Singler played for South Medford High School before going off to Duke. He and Kevin Love, a star at Lake Oswego High School before who playing for UCLA and the Minnesota Timberwolves, are among the most talented prep players to come out of Oregon.

Singler averaged 16.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and two assists per game during his four years with the Blue Devils.

The Blazers have the 21st and 51st picks.
