2006-2007: Scheyer’s College Decision
Jon Scheyer had four top choices for college: Arizona, Duke, Illinois, and Wisconsin. His high school coach’s connection to Illinois made it an appealing option. Conversely, his dislike for Duke stemmed from a desire to differentiate himself from his friends who supported the team. However, Duke’s assistant coach, Chris Collins, shared a high school alma mater with Scheyer, and he believed Duke offered the best opportunity to reach the Final Four. Ultimately, Scheyer selected Duke, where he pursued a major in History.
Freshman Season (2006–2007)
During his freshman year, Scheyer played in all 33 games for Duke, starting each one. He showcased his skills by scoring a season-high 26 points against North Carolina. Notably, he led all freshmen in the ACC with an impressive free throw percentage and earned recognition as part of the ACC All-Freshman Team. Despite primarily playing as a shooting guard, Scheyer adapted to the point guard position when needed, enhancing his skills and confidence on the court.
Sophomore Season (2007–2008)
In his second year, Scheyer faced a shift in his role as Gerald Henderson, Jr., started in his place for most games. Despite this, Scheyer remained a crucial part of the team, playing in all 34 games. He demonstrated his versatility by contributing off the bench, earning accolades as one of the country’s top sixth men. Scheyer’s exceptional free throw percentage and assist-to-turnover ratio highlighted his proficiency on the court.
Junior Season (2008–2009)
As a junior, Scheyer’s leadership qualities were recognized when he was named one of Duke’s team captains. Throughout the season, he displayed remarkable performances, including a career-high 30 points in a game against Wake Forest. A transition to the point guard position further showcased Scheyer’s adaptability and impact on the team’s offense. His contributions led Duke to victory in the 2009 ACC Tournament, where he was named MVP.
Senior Season (2009–2010)
In his final year at Duke, Scheyer continued to excel, serving as a team captain once again. Coach Krzyzewski praised Scheyer’s understanding of the game and his ability to make crucial plays. Scheyer’s milestone achievements, such as becoming the first Duke player to reach certain statistical benchmarks, underscored his impact on the team. His clutch performances in key games, including the ACC championship and the NCAA Final Four, solidified his legacy at Duke. Winning the national championship was a fitting end to Scheyer’s collegiate career, earning him recognition on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Despite going undrafted in the NBA, Scheyer’s collegiate achievements left an indelible mark on the basketball world.
