What Is Jon Scheyer's Inaugural Non- Conference Schedule As Duke's Head Coach Going To Look Like In 2022-2023 Season?
As a player,
Jon Scheyer helped spark Duke to two ACC championships and the 2010 NCAA title as a player from 2007-10, has helped Duke compile a 219-61 (.782) record, a national championship
As a coach,
Jon Scheyer has had three different roles in the Duke Men’s Basketball Program. He started as a Special Assistant during the 2013-2014 season. Then Jon Scheyer was promoted to Assistant Coach, Associate Head Coach. His most recent promotion? Head Coach because Mike Krzyzewski retired after Duke’s 81-77 loss to North Carolina in the National Semifinal in New Orleans on Saturday March 2, 2022.
As a coach,
Jon Scheyer 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.
Kennard and 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.
RJ 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 has worked closely with ACC Freshman of the Year and consensus second-team All-American Paolo Banchero. He has also helped guide second-team All-ACC pick Wendell Moore Jr., into performing as one of the nation's most complete players, as Moore is the only player in the NCAA shooting .500+ from the field, .400+ from three-point range and averaging 5.0+ rebounds and 4.0+ assists.
Twice during the 2021-22 regular season -- at Wake Forest on Jan. 12 and in the second half versus Wake on Feb. 15 -- Scheyer stepped in as the acting head coach. In his increased role, he helped the Blue Devils win the ACC regular season title for the first time since 2010 before advancing to the Final Four for the 17th time in program history.
