Intro: Dajuan Gordon (2019)
Curie 2019 6’2” shooting guard Dajuan Gordon is a long and thin wing. Will need to add strength on, but has time and a nice frame on his side. Gordon was absolutely in a zone from deep when we saw him with Team Rose in May! He was particularly hot from the corners where he drilled a handful of triples. Confident player that when he gets hot is a force. This was our first extensive look at him, but he projects as a plus plus shooter that should make an immediate impact at Curie next season doing exactly that. Solid athlete that mixed in a few transition scores. Potential to be a nice all-around player. Definitely a name to pay close attention too over the next year!
Gordon ran with the Curie sophomore team last year where he had an impressive campaign.
“My year went good. I played on the sophomore team where I averaged around 20 points. We went to city where we lost to Bogan. I think I played well. I could have made better decisions, but overall I think I played well.”
How did being the man on the sophomore team help him gain confidence going into this summer and next year on varsity?
“It let me know how much I have to be a leader and control the game.”
What are the biggest assets in his game?
“I can shoot. I can kill people off the dribble.”
Gordon is enjoying playing with Team Rose on the circuit.
“We are doing very well. We are short. We have a small group, but we ended up getting more bigs that have played good. Our season is going well. My role is being the leader of the team.”
