As Duke is opposing Purdue in Phil Knight Legacy Championship today in Portland Oregon Jon Scheyer is opposing team he opposed as player when he played for Duke. Though this time he is opposing Purdue as Duke Head Coach.

Why?

Because Jon Scheyer is coaching his inaugural season as Duke Head Coach following Mike Krzyzewski’s 42 seasons as Duke’s Head Coach.

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.

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.

Following Duke’s 71-64 in over Xavier in semifinals Friday advancing Phil Knight Legacy Championship Sunday in Portland Oregon Head Coach Jon Scheyer had this to say!

We’ve been in this situation a couple of times. And even the scrimmage for us, we learned a lot from that and different games down the stretch. Like the Kansas game, for example, we’re winning and to close out a game it’s not about scoring, it’s about getting stops. And the last huddle, I think there was 3:30 on the clock, I’m not exactly sure how much time, but they were the ones talking. Our guys were. ‘Hey we’ve been here before, we know what to do’. And they came out, all five guys were locked in, and I thought we came up with some big-time rebounds. Mark [Mitchell], [Kyle Filipowski], Ryan [Young] all get in there, scrapping to come up with some big plays and to finish the game off.”Yeah definitely some adversity came our way with that. Ryan and Dereck [Lively II] getting two fouls early. But the job they did on Nunge, I mean, 1-of-13, he’s a great player. I’ve followed him for a long time, all the way back in high school we looked at him. And Dereck’s response on defense, Ryan’s physicality, I mean that’s a big-time thing. He’stheir leading scorer, he’s been averaging 17. Icredit, we talked about the defense collectively, but without those two guys guarding him, it would’ve been a long night for us. So really proud of the bigs and their effort. Coach (Amile) Jefferson did a great job watching extra clips with them, and we knew they were an inside-out team, so taking that away was important.”

Following 71-64 win over Xavier Jon Scheyer had this to say in his opening statement, on Jeremy Roach leadership, on Duke’s defensive stretch to end the game on how Duke closed out the game on avoiding slow start on dealing with early foul trouble “Man. Great win for us. We have great respect for Xavier, Sean Miller, who they are as a team. They’re old, they’re really tough and they’ve been – our scouting report we always identify ‘alright he’s a hot player right now’, and you go down the list and every one of their guys were hot going into this game. They’re all shooting 40, 50 percent from three, [Jack] Nunge was shooting 70 [percent] in his last four games. And just proud of our collective effort. Thought we played a 40-minute game, really together, we fought, we defended really well. And then I thought Jeremy Roach’s leadership throughout the whole game was a key. And then a lot of different guys stepped up with some big-time contributions. Really proud of this effort, getting a chance to recover now, and of course see who we play tonight. We know no matter what, it’s going to be a heck of a game on Sunday. Really proud of this win and this effort.”“Jeremy and I spoke and my thing was ‘play instinctually. Just be you’. He’s in a tough spot where he has a lot on his shoulder. We need him, what did he play today -- 35 minutes? We need him to score, to create, to defend the other team’s best player. [Souley] Boum today was the best player for them. And there’s a lot that falls on your shoulders, so you end up, you can overthink it a little bit. And the thing that I loved for him today was he was just him. And when he’s that way, to me, he’s the best guard in the country. He controlled the whole game, created for others. He had five assists, I actually thought he could’ve had eight, nine assists, we missed a couple bunnies that he dumped off. But really proud of him and how he responded. I think this is what we’ll see going forward from JeremyWe’ve been in this situation a couple of times. And even the scrimmage for us, we learned a lot from that and different games down the stretch. Like the Kansas game, for example, we’re winning and to close out a game it’s not about scoring, it’s about getting stops. And the last huddle, I think there was 3:30 on the clock, I’m not exactly sure how much time, but they were the ones talking. Our guys were. ‘Hey we’ve been here before, we know what to do’. And they came out, all five guys were locked in, and I thought we came up with some big-time rebounds. Mark [Mitchell], [Kyle Filipowski], Ryan [Young] all get in there, scrapping to come up with some big plays and to finish the game off.”“I thought we showed some great poise. Because I think we were up 13? Yeah, 13 was the lead that we got. And Xavier, they’re not a team that, you’re not going to run away with it. They’re tough minded. And just the poise, I thought in key moments, Jeremy put us on his back and said ‘alright’. Whether it’s for him or for somebody else, he got some really good looks, really good quality looks. And then you ofcourse have to follow it up with a stop, and we did that enough times to get some separation and never let them really get the lead, which was a big deal.”I think there’s a lot of things that go into it. I think it starts with our mindset. What I told our guys, it’s not just about what they’re doing, it’s about what I’m doing. It’s about what we’re doing as a coaching staff. And I thought it was a great wakeup call for all of us. There was incredible drive today, we knew what kind of game it would be. And that’s what it’s going to be every time that we play. So for us, going through this the first time together, it was all just about locking in. We didn’t even talk about a 40-minute game, we’ve been talking about putting together a 40-minute game, it was about the first four minutes. The first four minutes, let’s win them, let’s come out. And our guys took that to heart and did a great job.”“Yeah definitely some adversity came our way with that. Ryan and Dereck [Lively II] getting two fouls early. But the job they did on Nunge, I mean, 1-of-13, he’s a great player. I’ve followed him for a long time, all the way back in high school we looked at him.

Following Duke’s 71-64 win over Xavier Friday Graduate Transfer Ryan Young had this to say about on how important Jeremy Roach performance was for the team, on guards playing well being helpful in front court how he ‘s Kyle Filipowski improve in practice.

It was huge. He’s our leader, our captain, the team goes when he goes. It’s awesome to have him getting those shots and leading the team in general, offensively and defensively.”“I think we’re a team, we have a deep team, we have nine guys, not every guy can be all over the court at all times. So I think our depth is one of our best attributes and we’re able to have those kind of nights. Yesterday we had some guys going, some guys were just missing shots. And we were still able to pull out a gritty win like that and today, we had a lot more firepower, obviously bettershooting stats. I think that’s a huge strength of our team. I’ve never been on a teamthis deep, I’ve said it amillion times but it’s awesome to come out here and have so many different weapons.”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. The growth he’s made has been incredible, and obviously it’s been awesome for us.”

Following Duke’s 71-64 win over Xavier Friday Jeremy Roach had this to say following Duke’s 71-64 win over Xavier on when he realized he was scoring well , how important a balanced attack is on how Duke addressed offensive struggles vs. Oregon State on the key being ready for Purdue or Gonzaga “I think, Icame off, it wasthe first half Icame off like a drag screen in transition, hit a three, I knew I had it going then. Just wanted to keep it going, get the win.It’s big. I mean, we like to play inside out but I mean, when guards are hitting shots, when guys are getting shots, it opens up for everybody else. So just kind of try to continue to be consistent and hitting shots.” On how Duke addressed the offensive struggles vs. Oregon Sthink we were hesitating a little bit, myself included. We hesitated a little bit, not confident all the way confident with the shots. I mean, we just want to shoot our shots with confidence. It’s a big thing for Coach Scheyer, always instilling confidence in us before the game, just trying to make us knock down shots. So I mean, shooting shots with confidence is a big key”“Same preparation as we did for Xavier. You can't take anything for granted. One possession at a time, and it's the same preparation, like I said, for Xavier. I think that's the biggest key was our preparation today and getting our mindset ready.” Mark Mitchell had this to say follow Duke’s 71-64 win over Xavier Friday on what win says about teams response. On multiple players being able to hit shot in key moment on whether if he realized Jeremy Roach had first 20 game of the season. “I think yesterday we didn’t have our best performance. I think today we tried to come in and lock in on the scouting report. We knew [Nunge] was their most important player, we just tried to come in and shut him down and do everything we could to stop him.”“We have a lot of people on this team. You never know when it’s going to be your day and I think at any time, any of us can make a big shot.”didn’t. I don’t really think about scoring like that but I knew he had it going so I’m glad.
