Grade: D

Dajuan Coleman has had a rough career at Syracuse after leaving Jamesville-Dewitt. He has had knee problems his whole career which made it hard for him to be consistent.

A former McDonald’s All-American, according to NunesMagician.com, never quite lived up to the hype. He made two Finals Fours with the team, but never really made an impact. Hence, the D grade.

He is a decent scorer and I love his heart, but he has a long way to go before he’s an NBA prospect. He might make to the league someday, but in the meantime I can see him playing as a starter overseas for someone. Since he is out of basketball eligibility at Syracuse, I wish him all the best  in the future. He is capable, he just needs to get healthier. Best of luck Coleman!
