More from Syracuse Basketball
Former Syracuse Basketball Big Man Rakeem Christmas has shined on both the offensive and defensive end of the ball recently. Christmas, who had been spending most of his young career in the Developmental League, is finally getting well deserved minutes at the NBA level.
Instead of being impatient, Christmas waited, and paid his dues in the D-League. Now, he is playing a prominent role in the Pacers playoff push in the Eastern Conference.
In his senior year at Syracuse, Rakeem Christmas averaged 17.5 points, 9.1 rebounds per game, and made the All-ACC First Team, according to Cuse.
