He reminds me of Linas Kleiza. Same build and athletic ability. Both do not have a lot of crinkles to their games but they can score at the rim and from distance so they have value. When he goes to the rim, he goes straight and like a bull; he’s not changing directions or using hesitation moves. He’s a solid outside shooter with range. Like Kleiza, he tends to have an one-track mind for his own offense.

Kleiza went in the twenties and is a solid player off the bench. I think Summers will have a similar career path.

DaJuan can shoot very well but, contrasted with Jeff Green he has no handle whatsoever. And he is a horrible team player. He consistently loses his man on defense leading to layups. He always tries to take the game over, but inevitably dribbles it off his foot or misses the rim entirely when he jacks an inappropriate three. The bigger the situation the more likely his error. He has some size but kinda weak on the rebounds. A serious project to last in the NBA. I wish him the best, but see Europe in his future.

Thanks for your service DaJuan. I don’t want to hate too much over last season, but the Hoyas are better off with Nikita Mescheriakov who plays within the system.

Lets Go Hoyas!

In what world do you think DaJuan Summers could be a lottery pick?! You can’t be serious. People talk about skills as if decision making isn’t one of them. Plenty of games this year, he’d make bone head plays that sealed the fate of the Hoyas. And if he gets drafted in the first round, I’ll be sincerely surprised.

i love my hoyas n terps. but DaJuan is one of those. guys who can do it all…but just havent gotten the credit for it yet. I think he’ll be like Trevor Ariza. because he Ariza can probally do it all well..just not great at one aspect but good at all. shoot. athletic. defend. n plus he wont have to be the main guy on a team so he wont have that pressure. plus at 6’8 n the long arms he has…or atleast i think they’re long. he should contribute nicely to an NBA team

Man, this one’s hard to call. I remember seeing him when he was a freshman against UNC in the Elite Eight, and thinking he was on the verge of becoming an absolute monster, but I don’t know what happened after that. It’s hard to pin-point, which sucks, because I know he has a legit game. He’s one of the types of players that can contribute to a contending team, because he does have a grown man’s game. Even with that, I don’t see him going in the first round; mid-second, MAYBE.
