As a player for Duke,
Bobby Hurley was a first-team All-American in 1993, he is best remembered for arguably being the best point guard in NCAA history. Hurley led the Blue Devils to three Final Four appearances and consecutive national championships in 1991 and 1992, and set the NCAA record for career assists with 1,076 before was selected seventh in 1993 by the Sacramento Kings and played five years in the NBA with the Kings and Vancouver Grizzles.

As player for Duke,

Jon Scheyer was one of the most versatile and reliable Blue Devils all-time, concluding his career as the only player in school history to record at least 2,000 points, 500 rebounds, 400 assists, 250 three-point field goals and 200 steals. He averaged 14.4 points per game while scoring in double figures 114 times (sixth-most in Duke history) and leading the Blue Devils to a 115-29 (.799) record.

A two-time team captain, Scheyer scored 2,077-career points and still ranks 10th on Duke’s all-time scoring list. He ranks third in Duke history in free throws made (608), fourth in free throw percentage (.861; 10th in ACC history) and three-point field goals made (297; 13th in ACC history) and sixth in free throw attempts (706). He played in 144 consecutive games, tied for the second-longest streak in Duke history, while his 4,459 minutes played rank fourth in ACC history.

As a senior in 2010,

Jon Scheyer averaged 18.2 points, 4.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game from the point guard position to spark Duke to a 35-5 record and its fourth national championship. He was a consensus second-team All-American and a first-team All-ACC pick in his final season after starting all 40 contests and scoring in double figures in all but two games on the year. His 1,470 minutes played as a senior remains the ACC single-season record.

Jon Scheyer was named MVP of the ACC Tournament as a junior in 2009, averaging 21.7 points and 4.0 rebounds as Duke took home the title.

Though, unlike Bobby Hurley Jon Scheyer ‘s NBA Career was short lived as Jon Scheyer suffered, sustained an eye injury while playing summer league for the Miami Heat as he suffered a retinal tear and traumatic optic nerve avulsion, both vision-threatening injuries. His plans quickly changed as he was told he may not be able to play basketball again due to permanent vision loss in his right eye. Scheyer discusses his experience during that time and expresses his gratitude towards Terry Kim, MD, Duke Cornea Division Chief and Duke Men's Basketball team eye doctor who flew to Chicago the very next day to ensure that he would receive the best care possible. "If that is not an example of Duke being a life-time decision, then I don't know what is,"  said Scheyer. While his plans changed, he was able to get into coaching at a young age and gain the experience that led him to his new role as the 20th Head Coach for Duke Men's Basketball.
