Yeah, I'm actually very strong in rebound and blocks, but marginal gains are always welcome, haha. I'm probably going to stay put though. thanks for the advise!

If your team needs rebounds and blocks, I do not see how the decision should be about having Dalembert OR Singleton, who by the way is now the starting PF for WAS. A replacement move will be a wash or a marginal gain, at best. I would suggest dropping someone else and then combining both their contributions. IF Dalembert is your team's weakest link, then your team is probably doing very well. Good luck!

At their current production levels, Dalembert and Singleton project out at around the same value. Like Nels mentioned, Dalembert has shown a higher level of production in the past and is probably the guy I'd take as well.

That's a hard one. Dalembert is certainly capable of more than Singleton. If you're looking at it for Blocks and Rebounds as Erik recommended, I'd stick with Dalembert. More of a track record there – he's just in a bit of a slump.

Good call, Erik. If you look at the games where Singleton has had 25+ minutes (there aren't many in the 4 years he's played in the league) he's put up pretty decent numbers. I'm not sure why no one has realized this yet and given him a longer stretch to see what he can do.

Is it time to drop Dalembert for Singleton yet?
