College career

[edit | edit source]

Sulaimon began his collegiate career at Duke in 2012. He was named to the ACC All-Freshman team after the 2012-13 season, as well as the All-ACC Academic team.[4] After starting 33 of his 36 games as a freshman, he was relegated to more of a 6th-man role during his sophomore campaign. Sulaimon saw his role diminish again during the 2014-15 season before he was dismissed from the Duke basketball program on January 29, 2015, after appearing in 90 games over three seasons.[1] He was the first player ever dismissed by coach Mike Krzyzewski for failing to meet the standards set for a Duke basketball player.[5][6] It was later revealed that two women had accused Sulaimon of sexual assault in the months preceding his eventual dismissal.[7]

Sulaimon transferred to Maryland for his senior season, where in 36 games, he averaged 11.3 points on .425 shooting from three-point range, 3.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 32.9 minutes per game, garnering a 2015–16 All-Big Ten honorable mention team.
