As Jon Scheyer is continuing inaugural season as Head Coach of Duke Duke is hosting, opposing Maryland Eastern Shore tonight in Durham.
As a Special Assistant, Assistant Coach, Associate Head Coach at Duke to now retired Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski Jon Scheyer helped spark the Blue Devils to two ACC championships and the 2010 NCAA title as a player from 2007-10, has helped Duke compile a 219-62 (.779) record, a national championship (2015), two Final Fours (2015, 2022) and two ACC Tournament crowns (2017, 2019) during his time as an assistant or associate head coach.He helped mentor Tyus Jones in Duke’s 2015 national title season, as the Blue Devils finished the year ranked third nationally in adjusted offensive efficiency. Jones was named the Final Four Most Outstanding Player in Indianapolis and was a first-round pick in the 2015 NBA Draft after just one college season.
In 2017, Jon Scheyer helped mold Luke Kennard into a consensus All-American after a breakout sophomore season that saw him rank second in the ACC in scoring and three-point field goal percentage. He also helped develop Frank Jackson into one of the most dynamic young guards in the country during the 2016-17 campaign.
Luke Kennard and Frank Jackson were selected 12th and 31st overall, respectively, in the 2017 NBA Draft.
After Grayson Allen finished his career in 2018 as the 12th-leading scorer in Duke history with 1,996 points, he was drafted in the first round by the Utah Jazz. Allen joined Scheyer as two of just five Blue Devils in history with 1,900 or more points, 400 or more rebounds and 400 or more assists (Grant Hill, Danny Ferry, Johnny Dawkins).
The 2019 campaign saw Tyus’ brother Tre enjoy a breakout year as a freshman by setting the program’s single-season record for assist-to-turnover ratio (3.62), while establishing himself as one of the nation’s premier defensive players. Jones’ classmate, RJ Barrett, finished his remarkable freshman season at Duke as a consensus first-team All-American, the USA Today National Player of the Year, and the overall No. 3 selection in the NBA Draft.
R.J. Barrett broke a myriad of program and ACC records, including both the Duke and conference freshman scoring record with 860 points. His 860 points were surpassed on the program’s single-season scoring list by only J.J. Redick’s 964 points as a senior in 2006. Barrett averaged 22.6 points and was the only major conference player in 2018-19 to score 13+ points in every game of the season.
Under Jon Scheyer’s guidance, Tre Jones parlayed his phenomenal freshman season into a decorated sophomore campaign that ended with him as the 2020 ACC Player of the Year, the ACC Defensive Player of the Year, and an All-American. After two seasons as the starting point guard, Jones declared for the NBA Draft, leaving Duke as the program’s career record-holder in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.88) and ranking third in assists per game (5.8).
Throughout the 2021-22 season, Jon Scheyer worked closely with ACC Freshman of the Year and consensus second-team All-American Paolo Banchero. He also helped guide second-team All-ACC pick Wendell Moore Jr., into performing as one of the nation's most complete players. Moore capped his season winning the Julius Erving Award as the nation's best small forward.
Paolo Banchero capped his collegiate career as the overall No. 1 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic, one of a record five Blue Devils drafted in 2022, including four in the first round. In Jon Scheyer’s time at Duke, he has helped mentor 26 Blue Devils to be drafted – 20 being first round selections.

Following Jon Scheyer picking up his inaugural win at Madison Square Garden home of NBA’s New York Knicks as Head Coach of Duke following Duke’s 72-64 win over Iowa in Jimmy V Classic Jon Scheyer had this to say in his opening statement, on defense being the backbone of this team. On what its like walking into Madison Square Garden as Duke’s Head Coach Great for us. What an honor to be back in the Garden. This has been a special place for us to play over the years, and we’re going to try and come back here like we’ve done in our program’s history. This is a special spot to play in the Jimmy V Classic, year one, that means a lot to us. I’ve been fortunate, being along Coach K a long time, to know the important of the Jimmy V Foundation and the amazing work they’ve done. So, for us, it’s an honor. We’ve been through a really tough stretch the last couple of weeks, and I’m proud of our guys, just for how they’ve pushed through and beat a really good Iowa team. [Mark Mitchell] and [Jeremy Roach] to my right and left, big time tonight. Mark’s defense on [Kris] Murray, the way he drove the ball, rebounded, it was a big-time game. And Jeremy was really in control of our team from beginning to end. Scoring, playmaking, leading. Actually, we were just talking about Jeremy and getting after Mark to attack the basket, and he did. So, I know you’re going to ask these guys any questions, I’m happy to answer any questions afterwards. But proud of the game, proud of the team and a lot of respect for Iowa and who they are and what they’re capable of doing. “It’s exciting. Because for this young of a group, and a young team in terms of having that experience playing together, that’s what it comes down to in March. You need to get stops. I think our offense will continue to develop through the course of the season. We’ve had not much practice time so there’s some possessions where giving away the ball, whether it be a tough shot we take or turnovers tonight were pretty good, but that’s something that I’m really looking forward to – the practice time, building our offense. But our defense is the base of who we are. To me, when I found out that I was going to be the head coach at Duke, the two things I always connect to Duke Basketball is playing defense and sharing the ball. And we’ll continue to emphasize that. But just proud of our effort. Proud of the buy-in our guys have had, and I think we still have a lot of room to grow.”“Yeah, the Garden is special. It’s a special place and one of my guys told me earlier that between playing and coaching here at Duke, I’ve been here 24 times. I actually couldn’t believe that. We’ve been here a lot through the years, but it’s a different experience walking out and just the buzz and environment – we’ve never had an environment here that’s not as good as it gets for college basketball. The Garden is a special place, and I think it’s a privilege to play here and you want to give it everything you have and I thought we did that tonight.”
Though,
Jon Scheyer who picked up his inaugural win as Head Coach of Duke at Madison Square Garden home of the NBA’s New York Knicks in Jimmy V Classic verses Iowa Tuesday wasn’t the only one to talk about Duke’s 74-62 win over Iowa as freshman Mark Mitchell, junior Jeremy Roach did as well. Mark Mitchell talked about his defensive approach against Kris Murray, Jeremy Roach’s leadership by saying I mean, I think we just had a game plan to come in and try to stop him. We knew he’s a talented player, I tried to keep him off the glass as much as we could, I knew he averages a lot of offensive rebounds. We just tried to defend him as a team, not let him get any easy looks and just pressure him all night and make it hard for him.Yeah, he’s our captain. He keeps us together. He’s been here. A lot of us, you know, it’s our first time playing in the Garden, he’s played all these big-time events, so he keeps us together. He keeps us as one, and that’s what a captain does. Jeremy Roach talked about when he realized he was locked in tonight on how better the freshman can get as the season progresses by saying “I probably knew when I was in rhythm when I hit my first three. I mean, when you see your first couple of shots go in, you know you’re kind of in a rhythm. Had the floater to begin the game and then the three, so I kind of knew I was going. But I didn’t want to be ultra-aggressive, still wanted to get my teammates involved, stuff like that. And then be smart on the offensive end, just lead like I’ve been saying “They’ve came in every day to work. They’re a sponge, they want to learn as much as they can. They don’t have any egos, nobody is mad about anything, so that’s really the biggest thing about the freshmen. And then just them on the court growing, I mean, it’s early for them. The freshmen, they go through stuff. They’ve got to go through trials and tribulations, but I feel like they’re right on. Like Coach says, he wants us to transform, and I think they’re doing just that. As you see, we have so many different talented guys who can step up, I mean obviously Flip (Kyle Filipowski), Mark (Mitchell) tonight, Dereck (Lively II), Dariq (Whitehad) had a good game tonight, so I mean it’s just multiple guys who can come in as a freshmen and give us a good boost."
