As Duke Is Facing, Opposing Iowa Tonight In Jimmy V Classic Jon Scheyer Is Coaching Inaugural Game As Duke Head Coach At Madison Square Garden Home Of New York Knicks Of NBA

As Duke is facing, opposing Iowa tonight in Jimmy V Classic Jon Scheyer is coaching inaugural game as Duke Head Coach At Madison Square Garden Home Of New York Knicks of NBA.

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.

A two-time team captain, Jon Scheyer scored 2,077-career points and still ranks 10th on Duke’s all-time scoring list.

Following Jon Scheyer picking up his inaugural Atlantic Coast Conference win a 75-59 win over Boston College as Head Coach of Duke Jon Scheyer had this to say for his opening statement about Duke’s season defensive intensity Dereck Lively’s contributions on his teams different lineups, waves of scoring on his teams versatility creating match ups empty spaces on the court. On upcoming schedule. Tuesday against Iowa. On playing at Madison Square Garden Tuesday.

“Really proud of our team. Great to get our first ACC win. Boston College, they're still getting healthy; they're a little beat up. Proud of the overall effort, our defense was really good. Finally, we could string some stops together, and that translated into some good offense for us. We're still getting acclimated to playing with each other. This has been a tough stretch, a lot of games: more games than practice. We just need to keep building, quick turnaround again for Tuesday. I just want to say Jaylen Blakes, man, he's done a big-time job for us. He's coming in every game giving us energy. Dariq (Whitehead) did some really good things. He's still getting back in the flow. Really each one of our guys have played, stepped up, and contributed. That's going to be who we are all season. Happy to answer any questions, but proud of the win.”I think our ability to guard one-on-one allows us to stay out of rotations as much as possible. We did give up some shots and they missed some shots. We did get lucky with a couple things tonight. But, we try to mix it up. [We’re a] versatile group, incorporating full court pressure, whether it be zone or man, and using our depth is a big thing. Using our size and length protecting our rim. I thought Dereck Lively had three blocked shots, but he impacts way more than just the three blocks by just him being in the game. You can see his activity and confidence is growing each and every day.”“It is great, and it's one of the things we've talked about. We can come in waves and our first group started out: I thought we were okay. Then I thought, when we subbed, we got some more energy. That makes the guys, when they're coming back in, have more energy. We have a lot of different lineups. It's one of the things we have to continue to figure out: who plays well together. Ultimately, when you’re out there, is your group winning? We really value what we're doing; the ability to score in different ways. We had nine guys score tonight. You're not going to have that all the time, but with this group, I wouldn't be surprised if that happens many more times the rest of the year.”“We try to really mix it up in our pick and roll offense. We have some guys that really can attack downhill. Sometimes [the wing is] empty, sometimes it's not for certain games, that's just scouting. Jai Lucas had the scouting and did a great job with game plan. That is one of the things he talked about. Dereck is different, so our offense is going to be different when Dereck's in the game; versus Ryan or when we've had Flip [Kylie Filipowski] at the five today. So, the versatility and the ability to play differently with different lineups, is an advantage and something we have to continue to evaluate, look at, and continue to improve on based on how defenses play us.”“We have two games in the next week, but then we have a little bit of a break. Then we have another game, and then a break in there. I think the practice time will do us well, and also just to recover and get our bodies back a little bit. I thought I said a lot about this team, and we can't take our foot off the gas. We need to recover today and get back to it for Tuesday. “It’s a special thing going up to the Garden. I’ve been there, I don’t know, 15 or 20 times -- whatever it is, never as a head coach, of course – but it’s just one of those places, it has a special feeling. When you walk in the building, the bright lights, it’s a big moment. I’m just excited for our guys to be in there.

Though,

Duke Head Coach Jon Scheyer who is coaching his inaugural season as Head Coach of Duke wasn’t the only one to share his thoughts following his inaugural Atlantic Coast Conference win as junior guard Jeremy Roach, Freshman forward Mark Mitchell did as well.

Following Duke’s 75-59 win over Boston College following Jon Scheyer picking his inaugural Atlantic Coast Conference as Duke Head Coach over Boston College Junior Guard Jeremy Roach had this to say for his opening statement on the most important thing for Dariq Whitehead’s continued improvement after coming back from an injury. When asked to evaluate this Duke team at this point in the season

“We knew Boston College was going to be a very physical team. They might not jump out at you on film, but they’re going to always play hard. Obviously, one of their better guards– their best player pretty much – he went out early. I don’t even know what happened to him, but he’s a helluva guard going downhill, plays defense, has great hands. We wanted to impose our will early. It got into kind of an up-and-down game, and then kind of like the last four minutes of the first half, we took the lead and kind of put our foot on their neck.” “Just playing inside-out is a big thing for us. If our shot’s not falling, we’ve got big guys who can go to work inside – D-Live [Dereck Lively III], Ryan [Young], Flip [Kyle Filipowski], even Mark [Mitchell] and Dariq [Whitehead] will go inside a little bit. So we’ve got so many things going on inside that we can’t just rely on our jump shots. I think we did that tonight. We’re still trying to figure out our team.”“Just him ripping to the basket, being explosive, trying to get fouled, and just not relying on his jumper. Using his body, playing defense, being active, and talking too. The biggest thing for him is just his confidence. His confidence has to keep going up. He can’t be overthinking anything out there. He’s just got to play his game. I think he’ll be fine. He hasn’t got his rhythm going, so it’s kind of natural to think about, ‘I need to do this or do what Coach [Jon Scheyer] is saying.’ Just play out there – that’s the biggest thing.”“I think we’re really getting there. We’ve got a lot of young guys and we’re transforming. This November we went 7-2, so you can’t complain about that. We’ve got a lot of young guys learning. I think [the important things are] just taking it game after game, don’t look ahead, don’t look at what happened in the past, stay in the present and stay hungry.”

Following Duke’s 75-59 win following Jon Scheyer picking up inaugural Atlantic Coast Conference win as Duke Head Coach over Boston College freshman forward Mark Mitchell had this to say about his strong performance “I think I was just thinking a little too much early [in the season], just not playing the way I could. I just tried to keep playing hard and do what I can to help the team win. Eventually my offense came to me, and I got going on the defensive end a little bit, got a block, got a couple of stops, and I think that just fueled me to play offense.” When asked where he can contribute the most to this Duke team when asked what has been the most challenging elements of the transition from high school to college basketball.

“Just being a versatile weapon. On defense, I guard one through four, and sometimes I’ll switch onto the five. I think just being a defensive stopper, just trying to stop the prominent wing guys that we’re going to be playing.”“Maybe the hardest thing is teams scout you to know what you’re going to do, but I played in a pretty hard high school conference, so they did that too. Just learning for all of usto play together, as we get going, I think we have a lot of pieces, just figuring out what works. Every game might not be your game and that’s something new for all of us – we were all the stars where we come from – so just figuring out how to play together and play other great guys.”

Following Iowa’s 81-65 win over Georgia Tech Iowa Head Coach Fran McCaffery had this to say!

“[Kris Murray] had two double-doubles down in Florida, so I wasn’t concerned with how he would respond… The really impressive thing about the rebounding, with Kris, is that six offensive rebounds in the first half were a big difference in this game. We were struggling shooting the ball, and he went back and got it six times. Now the other thing is, a lot of guys can get 30, but very few people are going to get 20. Most guys who are getting 30 [points] aren’t rebounding, so I think that is impressive.”
