He certainly COULD start, but it would come down to how Howland wanted to play his rotation. As for Kansas, he would not start over Rush. And given how strong Chalmers is defensively, I'd be inclined to believe he'd be the sixth man there.
Also, I'd say Singler would start at UCLA at the four spot. Singler might also start at UNC over Thompson. Given what Kansas likes to do, I suspect Singler wouldn't start at Kansas. He might, however, start at Memphis. Memphis had a pretty good post scorer in Dozier and a dominant defensive presence in Dorsey. It would depend whether Calipari wanted Dozier's post scoring or Singler's scoring versatility.
That said, I think this is a pointless discussion. Nelson and Singler might or might not start given team tendencies, but they'd play substantial (20+) minutes for sure. And we have several other players who have the potential to start on any of those teams given time/experience. Henderson, Scheyer, and Smith, for example, all would bring something very valuable to each of those teams.
