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 Duke’s 54-51 win over Oregon State Head Coach Jon Scheyer who is coaching his inaugural season as Duke Head Coach had this to say in his opening statement on Kyle Filipowski’s maturity on teams depth on what he saw from Oregon State.
Wow. Well, obviously that was a heck of a college basketball game. Give Oregon State a ton of credit for how they came out and
played. Their switching defenses really hurt us; I thought it stood us up. It made us really hesitant on offense, I thought that was
pretty obvious. But the plays down the stretch, we’ve got Ryan Young, Kyle Filipowski, Jacob Grandison hitting two free throws, some
big-time winning plays. You have to find a way to gut it out, and proud of figuring out a way to win. That’s what our program has
been about, we need to continue to figure out how to do that and the thing about this tournament, you have to turn the page very
quickly now and get ready for whoever we play tomorrow. But proud of the resolve to get that win and of course we have a lot of
things we need to improve and get better at.
He’s a big-time competitor. I thought he hasn’t gotten off to the best starts but he’s always, when the game is on the line, he’s not
afraid. He hit some big-time shots, the three of course was huge for us to tie it, but those offensive rebounds he had were big-time.
Five offensive rebounds, 14 total, him and Ryan, just their presence by the basket, really caused Oregon State to pick up and get in
a lot of foul trouble. He’s a competitor though, he’s a gamer, I’m not surprised by what he did. The thing I love the most is his defense.
Really down the stretch, he guarded, switched on the smaller guards, moved his feet, played without fouling. That, to me, was a huge
period of growth for him.For us, we’ve talked a lot about, with our team, we feel that depth is a huge strength of ours. That may mean we close out games
differently than we start. Or depending on how the game goes, somebody has it really going. Ryan (Young) just got in the game
there, it’s hard to take him out. I mean, he was getting almost every offensive rebound, on defense playing pick and roll coverage
great, defending and giving us that physical presence we needed. And then Jake (Grandison), they’ve been in those moments, so
they weren’t afraid. Now Jake necessarily didn’t score any field goals, but you feel like, when he’s at the line, end of the game, he’s
going to knock in those two free throws. And he knows what to do. So, proud of those guys. That can change tomorrow. It wasn’t like
it was a conscience decision where you’re not playing somebody or you’re going with the five guys that have it going on the courtWell yeah I’ve a lot of respect for Coach Tinkle. He’s a great coach, he’s done great thing with that program. I knew he’d have them
ready to play. I thought they were really prepared and came out very confidently. So credit them. And also with us, we have to come
out with that same edge. We didn’t have that same edge that Oregon State had today. And that’s my responsibility. And we have to
do better with that. But credit them, you know they have, Jordan Pope is a really good player. He’s going to be a really good guard
in the Pac-12, and as a freshman to do what he did, I thought our guards made things pretty difficult for him and he still found gaps
and space to get a shot off. And (Dexter) Akanno and (Glenn) Taylor Jr., and the job we did on Taylor to only get two free throws
when he had 15 last game and he’s been living at the free throw line. They’re physical the way they switch up their defense, they’re
a tough team to play.
Following Duke’s 54-51 win over Oregon State Centers Kyle Filipowski, Ryan Young had this to say!
FRESHMAN FORWARD KYLE FILIPOWSKI On what he did differently against Oregon State: “Over the past few games, I’ve had a bit of a struggle coming out ready to get it and playing the way I should be playing. I think just alwayscoming in at halftime, talking with the team, talking with the coaches and things not going the right way, I know that I can do so much better and I think that brings a little fire into me. I definitely have to play with that from the start moving forward, but I think that’s what got me out of my slump. Even if the shots weren’t falling, just playing my butt because that’s what the team needed.” On the gameplan towards the end of the game centered around him and Ryan Young: “Absolutely. I mean, that was some of the stuff that we were talking about. Getting it inside, that’s going to open up outside shots as well and I think in the beginning it was against their zone and we were just moving it around the wing and just shooting the three’s. That’s when we needed to focus on was getting it inside the paint and that opened up the rest of it.” On if he’s proud of his late-game steal of Oregon State’s Jordan Pope: “I’m pretty proud of that. You noticed that. That’s a lot of what people critique about me, is playing defense. I have a chip on my shoulder, showing people that Ican play defense, especially against guys like Pope. So, I just have to keep that up. My coaches and teammates have been on me since the beginning to play defense. So, it’s not just me doing the work. It was a close game, and I just locked in. Even though they switched, I know what I’m capable of and I just had to dig deep.” GRADUATE FORWARD RYAN YOUNG On the thought process of attacking Oregon State’s zone: “I think it’s just playing aggressive. We talked about that. That was a point of e“I think it’s just playing aggressive. We talked about that. That was a point of emphasis from the coaching staff before the game is that they’re a team that gets creative defensively, they throw some different zones, obviously the way you get teams that way is if you stand them up and you start having them pass the ball and play tentatively. I think that was emphasized – ‘don’t play slow’. Get to the rim, we’ve got Jeremy [Roach] and Tyrese [Proctor] who can break down guys. Get into the paint, throw the ball into [Filipowski], I mean, there’s not many people who are better than Kyle in the middle of that post. That should be a nightmare for teams that have to try and guard. Just staying aggressive and now having the defense stand us up.” On how Duke approached getting the win in a different style: “As Coach Scheyer mentions, it’stournament play. And these games, you never have an easy game. Both teams are here, it’s a 12 p.m. game, people are ready to play and if you don’t come out firing, we had another slow start tonight, if we don’t come out demonstrative and aggressive, all of a sudden, it’s a dog fight. I think gritty is the right way to describe it, and I’m just proud of the way that we were able to gut it out. We’ve got a lot of things to work on, that’s how tournament play is. All these teams have three games in four days, most likely all of them are going to be like that.” On how much he’s seen Kyle Filipowski improve in practice: “A ton. It’s been fun to go against him. Obviously, he’s quite a talent, and he’s got a lot of different things that he can do. So it’s been awesome to go against him, all four of us – Christian [Reeves], myself, Dereck [Lively II] and [Filipowski] going at each other one-on-one and making each other better every day have been awesome. ThThe growth he’s made has been incredible, and obviously it’s been awesome for us.” JUNIOR GUARD JEREMY ROACH On what separates Kyle Filipowski: “I just think that he’s relentless on the glass right now. And when he wants to flip that switch and be relentless on the glass and do what he needs to do, that’s when he’s really in kill mode. I’ve been seeing him work every day since the preseason, he’s grown so much from the summer. I’m just blessed that he’s playing like this right now and we’re going to keep getting better.” On Duke’s offensive struggles against Oregon State’s zone: “I just think it’s a different look for us. We knew they were going to throw some crazy stuff at us, go zone for half the shotclock and then switch to man. We just didn’t want to stand up, and it kind of did stand us up in the first half, but we just wanted to keep being aggressive, and halftime, we came out, we wanted to go inside out.”“According to goduke.com”
