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

A high school All-American, he once scored 21 points in 75 seconds of play during a high school game. The 4th-leading scorer in Illinois state history, and named Illinois Mr. Basketball, he was heavily recruited by colleges. He chose Duke, for whom he was the MVP of the 2009 Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.

In his senior year in 2009–10, he is Duke's starting point guard and Captain. Scheyer is the only college basketball player under consideration for each of the Oscar Robertson Trophy, the John R. Wooden Award, the Naismith Trophy, the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award, and the Bob Cousy Award as of March 2010.

He was named to the 2009–10 Sporting News All-America Second Team, and the U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) All-America Second Team. He was a unanimous 2009–10 All-ACC First Team selection, and a 2010 ACC All-Tournament First Team. He was also named to the USBWA 2009–10 All-District team, and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-District team.

Early life

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

Grade school

Scheyer received a scholarship offer from Marquette University as an 8th grader.

High school career

Scheyer attended Glenbrook North High School, which Duke assistant coach Chris Collins had also attended.

Scheyer led the Glenbrook North Spartans to an Elite Eight appearance in the state playoffs three out of four years from 2003–06, including a 3rd place finish in 2003 as a freshman, and an Illinois state championship as a junior. 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).

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.

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. It has been called one of the best performances ever on a high school court. He averaged 32 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals for the Spartans as a senior.

He is the 4th-leading scorer in Illinois state 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. He was a high school All-American. In 2006, Scheyer was named Illinois Mr. Basketball. He was a two-time Gatorade state Player of the Year, and three-time all-state selection. He had a reputation as an exceptional 3-point shooter, a rangy, slick passer, a good defensive rebounder, and a big-game performer.

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)". 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."

College career

Scheyer's final four college choices were Arizona, Duke, Illinois, and Wisconsin; he ultimately chose to attend Duke, where he is majoring in History. Interestingly, his high school coach was Illinois coach Bruce Weber's brother, David Weber.

2006–07

Scheyer in 2006–07 started all 33 Duke Blue Devils games as a freshman. He scored a season-high 26 points in a loss to North Carolina on February 7, 2007.

He led the team in 3-pt field goals attempted, free throws attempted, and free throw percentage (.846; third in the Atlantic Coast Conference). He also tied for second on the team with 39 steals, and averaged 12.2 points, third on the team. He was eighth in the ACC in minutes per game, at 33.7.

He tied the Duke freshman record by making 115 free throws, and made 40 consecutive free throws, the third-longest streak in Duke history.

He was an ACC All-Freshman Team selection. He was also three-time ACC Rookie of the Week.

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."

2007–08

Despite the fact that Scheyer 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 one game his sophomore season, but played in all 34 games. He scored 27 points at Miami on February 20, 2008, to match the most points by a player off the bench in Duke history. He 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.

His free throw percentage (.889) was 2nd in the ACC, 12th in the nation, and 5th-best in school history. He averaged 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.4 steals per game. Scheyer registered a team-best 2.24:1 assist-to-turnover ratio.

2008–09

Scheyer was named one of three captains of the Duke Blue Devils for the 2008–09 season. He scored his 1,000th career point in a victory over Davidson on January 7, 2009. He scored a then-career-high 30 points against Wake Forest on February 22.

On February 19 against St. John's, 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. As a point guard, he averaged 19.7 points and 2.5 assists, and committed just 1 turnover a game. Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said he thought Scheyer had a “calming” influence on the team's offense. He is big enough, when pressured, to put a smaller defender on his hip, and still get the ball up court. Once he gets up court and gives up the ball, he becomes an option himself on the perimeter for other driving players. And on defense, he is big enough to bother most guards attempting to shoot over him.

Scheyer was named the MVP of the 2009 Atlantic Coast Conference tournament, after scoring 29 points in the title game.

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.). 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). He also averaged 3.7 rebounds per game.

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.

Reflecting his off-the-court accomplishments, Scheyer was a 2009 ACC Academic Honor Roll selection.

2009–10

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." And: "Some of the plays he makes—you might not think he's that fast, but he has great body control."

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. 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.

As of December 19, he was leading the nation with a 6.4:1 assist-turnover ratio. As of January 5, he was leading Duke in steals.

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... 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.

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." And ESPN's Doug Gottlieb said Scheyer was "making an interesting case for national player of the year."

On February 15, Scheyer became the only player to win the ACC Player of the Week award three times in the 2009–10 season, after shooting 62% from 3-point range for the week; it was the fourth time he won the award in his career.

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." University of Maryland coach Gary Williams said:

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.

ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Williams said in early 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."

As of March 10, he was the only player in the ACC to rank in the top 5 in seven statistical categories: free throw percentage (first, .889), three-point field goals (first, 2.9 3pg.), assist-to-turnover ratio (first, 3.0:1), minutes (second, 36.5 mpg.), scoring (third, 18.7 ppg.), three-point field goal percentage (third, .399), and assists (fourth, 5.2 apg). He was also tied for second in the ACC with 15 games with 20 or more points scored, and had reached double figures in 30 of 31 games for the season.

As of March 12, he was on target to be the 9th player in Duke history to average double figures for four seasons, and the 10th to top 2,000 points. He was in 2nd place on Duke's career free throw list (and 5th in ACC history), and on pace to finish 4th at Duke (and 10th in ACC history) in 3-pointers made. He was also 8th on the Duke all-time list with 107 career double-figure scoring games.

2010 Awards

Scheyer was named to the Sporting News 2009–10 All-America Second Team, and the USBWA All-America Second Team.

Scheyer was a unanimous 2010 All-ACC First Team selection, and a 2010 ACC All-Tournament First Team. He was second in voting for the 2010 ACC Player of the Year Award, to Greivis Vasquez of the University of Maryland. He was also named to the U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) 2009–10 All-District team, and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-District team.

Finalist for pending 2010 awards

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

Oscar Robertson Trophy

Scheyer is one of 16 finalists for the 2010 Oscar Robertson Trophy, presented to the National Player of the Year chosen by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association. The Trophy is voted on by the 900 journalists who are members of the association. The trophy will be presented on April 2.

John R. Wooden Award

Scheyer is one of 26 finalists for the 2010 John R. Wooden Award. It is given to the National Player of the Year in college basketball annually by the The Los Angeles Athletic Club. The winner will be selected by the Wooden Award National Advisory Board Committee, composed of sports media members and college basketball experts, who have until March 29 to cast their votes.

Naismith Trophy

Scheyer is one of 30 mid-season candidates for the 2010 Naismith Trophy, awarded to the college National Player of the Year annually by the Atlanta Tipoff Club. The Club’s board of selectors is comprised of basketball journalists, coaches, and administrators. CBS will announce the four Naismith Trophy finalists on March 21. From March 22 – April 3, fans will be able to "text" their votes for the player of their choice; fan voting accounts for 25% of the vote. The winner will be announced at the NCAA Final Four.

Lowe's Senior CLASS Award

Scheyer is one of 10 finalists for the 2010 Lowe's Senior CLASS Award, as the top senior in NCAA Division I basketball. The award is made in part through fan balloting. As of March 16, Scheyer was second in the on-line fan vote, with 22.7% of the vote. Fan votes account for 1/3 of the total, with the remaining 2/3 determined by NCAA Division I coaches and national media members to determine the the award's recipient. The winner will be announced at the NCAA Final Four.

Bob Cousy Award

Scheyer is one of 6 finalists for the 2010 Bob Cousy Award. It is awarded to the top men's college point guard annually by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. The selection committee, made up of top college basketball personnel including Hall of Famers, head coaches, sports information directors, and members of the media, will pick the winner, who will be announced on April 1.

Pro potential

According to Doug Gottlieb of ESPN, 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."

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, rates Scheyer within the top-60 NBA prospects.

Awards

Hall of Fame

Scheyer, who is Jewish, was a 2006 Inductee into the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.

Maccabiah Games

Scheyer was named one of 12 members of the United States men’s basketball team that was to compete at the 18th Maccabiah Games in Israel from July 12–23, 2009. The team was coached by Bruce Pearl, who is also Jewish, and the men’s basketball head coach at the University of Tennessee. Ultimately, however, Scheyer had to pull out of the tournament because of school commitments.
