Rasheed Wesley Sulaimon (born March 9, 1994) is an American professional basketball player for the Greensboro Swarm of the NBA Development League. He was selected as a McDonald's All-American as well as a Jordan Brand Classic All-American in 2012. He was the primary reserve off the bench for the Duke Blue Devils men's basketball team during the 2014–15 season before being dismissed from the team on January 29, 2015. He subsequently transferred to Maryland for his senior season.
Receiving offers from many colleges around the country, including North Carolina, Arizona, Baylor, Texas, and Texas A&M, Sulaimon committed to Duke on February 10, 2011 during an unofficial visit, signing a National Letter of Intent on November 9, 2011.
Sulaimon was dismissed from the Duke basketball program on January 29, 2015, after appearing in 90 games over three seasons. He was the first player ever dismissed by coach Mike Krzyzewski for failing to meet the standards set for a Duke basketball player.
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.
After going undrafted in the 2016 NBA draft, Sulaimon joined the Chicago Bulls for the 2016 NBA Summer League. On September 7, 2016, he signed with the Charlotte Hornets, but was waived on October 22 after appearing in four preseason games. On October 31, he was acquired by the Greensboro Swarm of the NBA Development League as an affiliate player of the Hornets.
