Dominique Leondres Sutton (born October 20, 1986) is an American professional basketball player for Aquila Basket Trento of the Italian Serie A. He played college basketball for Kansas State University and North Carolina Central University.
As a freshman and sophomore, Sutton attended Jordan High School in Durham, North Carolina. As a sophomore in 2004–05, he averaged 19.7 points per game as he guided the Falcons to a 19-8 record and the 4-A Western Regional semi-finals. He subsequently earned Associated Press second-team all-state honors and was named the Durham Sun-Herald and PAC-6 4-A Player of the Year.
In 2005, Sutton transferred to The Patterson School in Lenoir, North Carolina where he played for coach Chris Chaney as a junior and senior. In November 2006, he signed a National Letter of Intent to play college basketball for Kansas State University.
As a senior in 2006–07, Sutton averaged 15.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and a team-leading 3.0 steals per game as he and teammate Jamar Samuels helped the Bulldogs to a 36-4 overall record and No. 3 national prep school ranking. Patterson advanced to the inaugural Prep School National Championship, where they lost in the semi-finals to eventual champion Notre Dame Prep led by Michael Beasley.
In his freshman season at Kansas State, Sutton saw action in 19 games with eight starting assignments. He did not join the squad until December 26, 2007 after completing necessary academic requirements, missing the first 11 games. He also missed three games in February due to a knee sprain. He averaged 3.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 13.4 minutes per game.
