Recently the former Duke Men’s Basketball Player, NBA Player JJ Redick shared his thoughts about Jon Scheyer replacing Mike Krzyzewski as the Head Coach Of The Duke Men’s Basketball Program!

When?

After the 2021-2022 season!

What did he have to say?

JJ Redick had this to say about Jon Scheyer replacing Mike Krzyzewski as the Head Coach of the Duke Men’s Basketball Program!

I’m very confident in Jon Scheyer,” “One thing he has proven is that he can recruit. And to be a good college basketball team, you need good players. He’s going to continue to get good players. In the same way that UNC had to transition away from Dean Smith, I think that’s probably the most-similar scenario. Maybe there’s a few years — and hopefully it’s Jon for the next 40 — but there might be a few years where it’s a little bit different. But the brand that Coach K has built at Duke University, I think, will last as long as college basketball will last, in whatever form college basketball is in. Because we all know it’s probably going to change over the next 5-10 years with NIL stuff and conference realignment. But the brand Coach has built will last forever.”
