Jonathan James "Jon" Scheyer (born August 24, 1987, in Northbrook, Illinois) is a 6' 5" guard on the Duke Blue Devils men's basketball team, who moved over from shooting guard to point guard towards the end of the 2008–09 season.[2]

A high school All-American, he once scored 21 points in a game's final 75 seconds of play, attempting to spark a comeback. The 4th-leading high school scorer in Illinois history, and named Illinois Mr. Basketball, he was heavily recruited by colleges. He chose Duke, for whom he was the MVP of the 2009 ACC Tournament.

In his senior year in 2009–10, he is Duke's starting point guard and Captain, and has led the team to ACC regular season and Tournament championships, and into the Final Four. Scheyer is a 2009–10 Wooden All-American,[3] and was named to the All-America Second Teams of the AP, National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), Sporting News, and the U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA).[4][5] He was a unanimous 2009–10 All-ACC First Team selection, and named to the 2010 ACC All-Tournament First Team and the 2010 NCAA South All-Regional Team.[4][5] He was also named to the 2009–10 National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and USBWA All-District teams, and is a finalist for the Wooden Award and the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award.[4][5]

For the season, he has led the nation in assist/turnover ratio.[6] For his career, his was the first Duke player to record 1,400 points, 400 rebounds, 250 assists, 200 3-point field goals, and 150 steals for a career, and had the second-highest free throw percentage in Duke history (.862), the second-most consecutive games, the third-most free throws (600), and the fourth-most 3-pointers (291) as of April 2, 2010. He also holds the ACC single-season record for minutes (1,395 in 2009–10, through April 2) and the Duke freshman free throw record (115), shares the Duke record for points off the bench in a game (27), and has the third-longest streak of consecutive free throws in Duke history (40). He is expected to be drafted late in the first round or in the second round of the NBA draft.[7]

Early life

He is the youngest of three children of Jim and Laury Scheyer.[8] Scheyer began dribbling a basketball at age 3, and played in his first AAU national tournament six years later.[9]

Grade school

As a youth, he played in a league called the Fellowship of Afro-American Men.[10] Scheyer received a scholarship offer from Marquette University as an 8th grader.[11]

High school career

Because Scheyer's talent was obvious by the time he was set to start high school, many people encouraged his parents to move, so he could attend a high school with a powerhouse basketball program.[12] That way, the thinking went, he would have a greater chance of success.[12] But he shrugged off the suggestion, telling his parents: "We'll just do it here. We'll build the success at Glenbrook North."[12] His father said: "I get chills thinking about it. That wasn't my vision. It wasn't Laury's. It wasn't his coaches'. That was Jon's vision, and it never occurred to him that anything else would happen."[12]

Scheyer attended Glenbrook North High School. He led the Glenbrook North Spartans to an Illinois state championship as a junior, a 3rd-place finish in 2003 as a freshman, and an Elite Eight appearance in the state playoffs three out of four years from 2003–06.[13] Scheyer was known as the "Jewish Jordan", and the Spartans state championship team is the only high school state championship basketball squad known to have included an all-Jewish starting line-up (in Illinois or any other U.S. state).[14][6][15][16]

As a freshman, he led Glenbrook North in scoring and assists. He was First Team All-State as a sophomore in 2004. Scheyer was the only non-senior among those First Team All-State selections, and was the only underclassmen on any of the first three All-State squads. As a junior, he averaged 26 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.[17] David Weber, his coach, said: "I call him a combination of Larry Bird and 'Pistol' Pete (Maravich). He's got the flair, the passing abilities. He's got good size. He's a rare player in this day and age."[18]

Scheyer rose to national fame in his senior year by scoring 21 points in 75 seconds of play during a one-man comeback effort in the last minute and a half of a high school game against Proviso West High School.[19][20] It has been called one of the best performances ever on a high school court.[21] He averaged 32 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals for the Spartans as a senior.[22]

He is the 4th-leading scorer in Illinois history, with 3,034 points, and is the only player in state history to finish his career ranked in the all-time top 10 in points, rebounds, steals, and assists.[23] He was named Illinois Mr. Basketball in 2006, a high school All-American, a two-time Gatorade state Player of the Year, and a three-time all-state selection.[24][22] He had a reputation as an exceptional 3-point shooter, a rangy, slick passer, a good defensive rebounder, and a big-game performer.[25]

ESPN, in naming him to the Illinois First-Team for the decade, wrote that he was "one of the greatest Illinois high school players of all-time." He was also named to the century-list, the "100 Legends of Illinois Basketball (1908–2007)".[22]

Illinois Warriors coach Larry Butler said: "Jon Scheyer is one of the most prolific scorers I've seen in Illinois high school basketball. He was just the ultimate team player. Jon Scheyer would take the shirt off his back to win a game."[26] A Chicago Sun-Times article observed:

Scheyer's offensive game is amazing.... He hits jumpers from all manner of pogo-stick angles. He can hit runners while shooting back across his body. He can drive and finish in acrobatic ways. His offensive repertoire of ways to score is like a magician's bag of tricks. Offensively, he is a modern-day 'Pistol' Pete Maravich.[27]

College career

Scheyer's final four college choices were Arizona, Duke, Illinois, and Wisconsin. He ultimately chose to attend Duke, whose assistant coach Chris Collins had also attended Glenbrook North, where he is majoring in History.[13][22] His high school coach was Illinois coach Bruce Weber's brother, making the decision an especially difficult one.[13][6] He picked Duke despite the fact that when he was in junior high school he had really disliked its team, because all his friends liked Duke and he wanted to be different.[28]

2006–07

In 2006–07 he started all 33 Blue Devils games as a freshman.[29] He scored a season-high 26 points in a loss to North Carolina on February 7, 2007.[30]

He led the ACC with an .846 free throw percentage,[31] and was eighth in the ACC in minutes per game, at 33.7.[22] He was an ACC All-Freshman Team selection,[22] and was also three-time ACC Rookie of the Week.[22]

In addition, he tied for second on the team with 39 steals, and averaged 12.2 points, third on the team.[29][17][22] He tied the Duke freshman record by making 115 free throws, and made 40 consecutive free throws, the third-longest streak in Duke history.[22]

Though not naturally a point guard, Scheyer spent some time playing the point due to lack of depth at that position. "It made me more of a complete player", Scheyer said. "It made me more confident bringing the ball up the court. It was a learning experience."[24]

Coach Mike Krzyzewski

2007–08

Despite the fact that he was a starter as a freshman, Coach Mike Krzyzewski chose to start Gerald Henderson, Jr. in Scheyer's place for the majority of the season. Scheyer started only once during his sophomore year, but played in all 34 games.[22]

He scored 27 points at Miami on February 20, 2008, to match the most points by a player off the bench in Duke history.[22][32] He had a team-best 2.24:1 assist-to-turnover ratio, averaged the third-most minutes-per-game on the team (28.3), was fourth in scoring (11.7), and was widely hailed as one of the country's top sixth men.[33][34][22]

His free throw percentage (.889) was 2nd in the ACC, 12th in the nation, and 5th-best in school history.[22] He also averaged 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.4 steals per game.[22]

2008–09

Scheyer was named one of three captains of the Duke Blue Devils for the 2008–09 season.[35] He scored a then-career-high 30 points against Wake Forest on February 22.[22]

On February 19, Scheyer was moved from shooting guard, where he had played 91 games, to point guard, where he played extremely well for the last 9 games of the season and into the post-season.[36] As a point guard, he averaged 19.7 points and 2.5 assists, and committed just 1 turnover a game.[37] Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said he thought Scheyer had a “calming” influence on the team's offense.[37] He was big enough, when pressured, to put a smaller defender on his hip, and still get the ball up court.[37] Once he got up court and gave up the ball, he became an option himself on the perimeter for other driving players.[37] And on defense, he was big enough to bother most guards attempting to shoot over him.[37]

He was 7th in the ACC in free throw percentage (.841) for the season, 8th in minutes per game (32.8), tied for 8th in steals (1.6 spg.) and three-point field goals made (2.1 3pg.), and 18th in scoring (14.9 ppg.).[22] In the team's 36 games, Scheyer led the Blue Devils in minutes, free throws, free throw percentage, 3-point field goals, 3-point field goal percentage (.395), assists, and assists per game (2.8).[38] He was named the MVP of the 2009 ACC Tournament, after scoring 29 points in the title game.[39]

Krzyzewski said after the season: "He's a great competitor. He handles the ball real well. He scores—he scored more when he was bringing the ball up than when he didn't bring the ball up. I think the more the ball is in Jon's hands, the better."[29] Reflecting his off-the-court accomplishments, Scheyer was a 2009 ACC Academic Honor Roll selection.[40]

Scheyer was once again named captain, along with Lance Thomas. Commenting on his play, Coach Krzyzewski said: "He understands, which most kids, believe me, do not, the value of the ball. He makes really good decisions with the ball, whether it's a pass, a shot, or the time on the clock."[45] And: "Some of the plays he makes—you might not think he's that fast, but he has great body control."[46]

On December 2, 2009, he became the first Duke player to record 1,400 points, 400 rebounds, 250 assists, 200 3-point field goals, and 150 steals for a career.[47] On December 16, he scored 24 of a career-high 36 points in the first half, to lead Duke past Gardner-Webb. He shot 11-of-13, and hit a career-best seven 3-pointers, while grabbing eight rebounds and dishing out nine assists.[48]

Jay Bilas of ESPN picked Scheyer as starting guard on his mid-season First-Team All-American team in January 2010, writing:

No player in the country has been as efficient with the ball as Scheyer has been... [H]e consistently makes good passes and good decisions. Scheyer leads the nation with a 4.8-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio, and when guarded by smaller point guards he will work off the ball, and take advantage of defenders not used to playing off the ball.... Scheyer is averaging 20 points per game, 3.5 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.2 steals, and he is knocking down 46 percent of his shots, 41 percent of his 3-balls, and 91 percent of his free throws. He is making three 3-point field goals and five free throws per game. There are several other guards who are having great seasons ... but there aren't many who have had comparable seasons to date.[49]

ESPN play-by-play announcer Dan Schulman said: "He's not your prototypical break-you-down-off-the-dribble with blow-by speed kind of point guard. I would describe him as a very cerebral player, a very unselfish player ... He's been one of the most effective point guards in America."[46] And ESPN's Doug Gottlieb said Scheyer was "making an interesting case for national player of the year."[50]

On February 15, Scheyer became the only player to win the ACC Player of the Week award three times in the 2009–10 season. It was the fourth time he had won the award in his career.[51][52][53]

After facing him, North Carolina point guard Larry Drew said: "He's as crafty as you can get. You just don't like playing against players like that. He can shoot the ball well. He's quick enough. He's smart. He knows about angles. He's a good actor. And he can shoot."[54] University of Maryland coach Gary Williams observed:

Scheyer’s like an old-time guard ... in that he does everything, in terms of handling the ball, shooting the ball, playing defense.... that’s what makes him so tough, because he can do all those things and do them at a very high level for almost 40 minutes every game... It's almost like having more than one player on the court.[55]

ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Williams said in March: "Scheyer’s been great, he’s deserving of being the NCAA Player of the Year, maybe a co-Player of the Year with Greivis Vasquez."[56] Commenting on his demeanor, Sports Illustrated sportswriter Stewart Mandel wrote: "Scheyer is one of the shyest Duke stars in recent memory. The next time he brags or trash-talks will be the first."[57]

After sinking a 3-pointer with 18 seconds left to seal a win for Duke over Georgia Tech for the ACC championship, Scheyer said: "This is really exciting. I could do this 100 times. This could never get old."[58] Despite having struggled with his 3-point shot all game on 1–8 shooting, he said: "“Even though I wasn’t hitting, I still wanted the opportunity in the end to shoot the ball."[58] "Scheyer made an unbelievable shot," said Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt.[58] "If you’re a basketball fan, enjoy it for what it is."[58] Coach Krzyzewski noted: "There’s something about Scheyer that produces wins.... He’s never afraid."[58]

Playing Baylor on March 28 in the Elite Eight, he recalled:

There was a TV timeout with under four minutes in the second half. I'm pretty sure we were tied, or down by one [Duke trailed 61–60]. There was 3:39 [actually 3:36 left] on the clock, I'm pretty sure. I came to the bench, and was kind of looking around. I thought: 'This is it. It is a three-minute game for our season, everything you've been working for your whole life.' I smiled, and went for it. That was the most surreal moment. That is a moment I'll never forget.[7]

With 2:37 remaining, he hit a 3-pointer to put Duke ahead 67–61. The Blue Devils won, as he finished with 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists.[7]

Records and statistics

As of April 2, for 2009–10 he was leading the ACC in free throw percentage (.882), assist/turnover ratio (2.9), and 3-point FGs made (2.7 per game), 3rd in scoring (18.2 points per game), 4th in assists (4.8 per game) and 3-point FG percentage (.381), and 7th in steals (1.6 per game).[59]

Scheyer set the ACC all-time single-season record for minutes played in 2009–10 (with 1,395 through April 2, having passed Dennis Scott).[31][60] Scheyer said: "I feel as though this is what I've prepared my whole life to do. There's never a time in a game when I feel I'm winded."[61]

For the season, he has also led the nation in assist/turnover ratio.[6] He had 36 double-figure scoring games in the single season (tied for 5th-most in Duke history, with Shane Battier, Jason Williams, and Redick), 104 3-point field goals (the 7th-highest Duke season total), and was on target to become the 9th player in Duke history to average double figures for four seasons.[62][29][63][64][65] Freshman guard Andre Dawkins said: "Jon’s the glue. He takes the big shots."[14]

His career figures included an .862 free throw percentage (2nd in Duke history, behind J.J. Redick, and tied for 5th in ACC history), and he had played in 142 consecutive games (2nd-most in team history, behind Chris Duhon), had 600 free throws (3rd in Duke history, behind Christian Laettner and Redick), 291 3-pointers (4th in school history, ahead of Bobby Hurley, and 10th in ACC history), 112 double-figure scoring games (5th all-time at Duke, ahead of Mike Gminski and Grant Hill), and 4,684 minutes (5th in both Duke and ACC history, behind Redick).[31][60][62] In addition, he had played in 142 career games for Duke (6th on their all-time list; ahead of Brian Davis and Thomas Hill), had 205 steals (8th in school history, behind Grant Hill), and had scored 2,039 points (9th on Duke’s all-time list, ahead of Jim Spanarkel).[31][60][62] Asked to comment on his having passed the career 2,000-points mark, he said: "That's a pretty cool thing. I don't know all the names [of those] who have hit 2,000, but it's a great list to be part of. It's not better than a win tonight, and going to the Sweet 16, but it's still a great honor."[66]

2010 Awards

Scheyer was a Wooden All-American,[3] and named to the 2009–10 All-America Second Teams of the AP, National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), Sporting News, and U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA).[1][5][67]

In 2010 he was also a unanimous All-ACC First Team selection, an ACC All-Tournament First Team pick, and an NCAA South All-Regional selection.[5][4][68] In addition, he was named to the NABC and USBWA 2009–10 All-District teams.[5][69] He was second in voting for the ACC Player of the Year Award, to Maryland's Greivis Vasquez.[70]

Finalist for pending 2010 awards

Scheyer was the only college basketball player under consideration in mid-March 2010 for each of the John R. Wooden Award, the Naismith Trophy, the Oscar Robertson Trophy, the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award, and the Bob Cousy Award.

John R. Wooden Award

Scheyer is one of 10 finalists for the 2010 John R. Wooden Award.[71] It is given to the National Player of the Year in college basketball by The Los Angeles Athletic Club.[72] He and the West Virginia Mountaineers' Da'Sean Butler are the only finalists in 2010's Final Four.[73] The Wooden Award National Advisory Board Committee, composed of sports media members and college basketball experts, had until March 29 to cast their votes.[74][75] The award will be presented April 9.[71]

Lowe's Senior CLASS Award

He is also one of 10 finalists for the 2010 Lowe's Senior CLASS Award, as the top senior in NCAA Division I basketball.[76] He was second in the now-closed on-line fan vote, which accounts for 1/3 of the total vote.[77] The remaining 2/3 will be based on votes of NCAA Division I coaches and national media members. The winner will be announced at the NCAA Final Four.

On 2010 award lists

Scheyer was one of 6 finalists for the 2010 Bob Cousy Award (awarded to Greivis Vasquez as the top men's college point guard by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame).[78][79] He was also one of 16 finalists for the 2010 Oscar Robertson Trophy (awarded to Evan Turner by members of the U.S. Basketball Writers Association),[80] and one of 30 mid-season candidates for the 2010 Naismith Trophy (awarded to the college National Player of the Year by the Atlanta Tipoff Club).[81]

Pro potential

Doug Gottlieb of ESPN opined in early January 2010 that Scheyer "is probably not an NBA player, but his Jewish faith allows him to get an Israeli passport, and he would be one of the most coveted players EVER for a team like Maccabi Tel Aviv."[82][83]

David Thorpe, ESPN's resident expert on NBA rookies and noted trainer of NBA prospects, differs with Gottlieb. He notes most NBA teams would benefit by having Scheyer on their team as a sixth man. Chad Ford, ESPN's draft expert, rated Scheyer within the top-60 NBA prospects. Asked in March 2010 whether he feels he can make the NBA, Scheyer said: "I feel confident I can."[28]

By early April, most NBA draft analysts had him going somewhere in the second round, but Larry Butler, his former AAU coach with the Illinois Warriors who has also coached Andre Iguodala, Quentin Richardson, and Dwyane Wade, said:

Talking to all my NBA resources in the last couple of weeks, he's moved up the ladder. He could be a late first-round pick. He's shown his toughness, his will to win. He brings all those little intangibles to the table that the elite players do. He's always making the right pass, always making the big shots, always making the big plays, always making his free throws.... The kid is a winner. He's always been a winner.[7]
