Jon Scheyer

  Dude is on fire tonight.
  
  With 3:59 left in the game, Duke is up on Gardner Webb 103-61.
  
  Scheyer is 11-13 from the field, 7-9 from 3pt, with 36 pts, 6 rbs and 7 assists.

  Great college player.

  K made a nice moving letting him run the point, and playing Smith off him. Scheyer is a smart basketball player with tremendous scoring ability.
• mattinctown

  Scheyer could have shot from halfcourt tonight and it would have gone in. Great game by him as well as Duke, big game on Saturday against Gonzaga, interesting to see how Duke's bigs match up with the bigs from the Zags.

  A couple of my buddies were at the game--sat two rows off the floor. I have no clue how the hell they got those tickets.

  Its Christmas break, it is an easy ticket with no students on campus.
• SQ_Crazies

  

  Two rows off the floor? I wouldn't believe that's an easy ticket to get if it were August.
• swamisez

  

  Every single seat down low is first come first serve. You walk in, and you can stand anywhere you want.
  Its not difficult.
  
  correction, not every seat down low is first come first serve. Rows 1-3 behind the benches are assigned seats, and to my knowledge, those are not for sale. They are reserved for players families, recruits, and other dignitaries. If he got to sit there, then well, we all want to hear this story.

  Albeit it's Gardner Webb, this was just another instance proving why Jon Scheyer is one of the most underrated players in the game. He's continuously overlooked, and yet he continues to roll out stout numbers.
  
  36 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds in 30 minutes for number 30.
  
  As tremendous a defender and ball handler (Jon has an 8:1 a/t ratio on the season) and just team setup man/rock he is, Scheyer's scoring is just as smooth. He's not the most athletic guy, but he can simply "just do it," to take a line out of Nike's book. Jon is well on his way to becoming only the ninth Blue Devil in history to score in double figures all four years at Duke. Pretty amazing stuff.
  
  Also a great game for Andre Dawkins. The freshman, playing for the first time since his 21-year-old sister was killed in a car crash last week, scored 16 points on 6 of 9 shooting, including 3 of 4 from three.
  
  Good night for Duke.

  Gardner.Webb.
  
  Come get me in March
• SQ_Crazies

  

  Woohoo--look at the opponent. He had a real good shooting night--that's all I'll give him that much credit for. If he does something like this against a decent ACC opponent, then that'll be something...

  If you have nothing constructive to contribute, then GTFO. Happy Holidays.

  STFU.
• hoops23

  

  Meh, it's against G-Webb.. Let me see it done against Wisconsin..... Oh wait...
  
  
• swamisez

  

  93-72 or 113-68
  you decide?
• hoops23

  

  6 or 3, you decide
  
  Not too mention as recent as '05 and '09!
  
  haha...

  Perhaps no one here remembers Jon's performance against eighth-ranked Wake Forest, of the best conference in basketball fame, last February. His line that night: 30 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 5-of-10 shooting from three in a big win for Duke.
  
  Or Jon's numbers against #7 Xavier last December in the Meadowlands. That day Jon only went for 23 points on 9-of-11 shooting, including 5-of-7 from behind the arc. He opened that game on a roll as hot, if not hotter, than the one he did last night against GW. He was scorching.
  
  Get that Wisconsin stuff out of here. One game means nothing. Jon is a big game performer. He holds the Duke record for most points in a player's first game against Carolina. Jon set that in February '07, when he dropped 26 on the fifth-ranked Heels (the famous "40-0" team), including hitting four triples. Duke lost the game that night, 79-73, but stayed close due to the freshman Scheyer's unbelievably veteran game.
  
  2009 ACC championship game? Scheyer: 29 points on 6-of-10 shooting, including 4-of-6 from three. ACC Champion. ACC Tournament MVP.
  
  Big. Game. Performer.

  Duke has won as many titles as North Carolina has in my lifetime. I won't go around celebrating the 1952 national championship like it mattered to me.
• thedynasty1998

  

  I'm not sold on Scheyer as a "great player", however, I don't care who you are playing against, those are impressive stats. He sure is smooth.
  
  Any Duke fans know how he is projected at the next level?
• Prescott

  Scheyer is a very good player, who shot the ball great last night.
  
  His NBA prospects aren't very good, right now. DRAFTEXPRESS.COM has him ranked as the 16th best SENIOR and he is not on their mock draft board. He will have to play very well at the tryout camps in order to change his status.
  
  Seniors have shown what they can do and can't do and their ceilings are not as high as underclassmen.
  
  Just as most people don't remember Scheyer's great games mentioned above, they probably don't remember his 3/18 performance in duke's loss to Villanova in last year's tournament or the 3/12 effort in Duke's loss at BC last year.
  
  The point is that good players have great games and they have poor games. Scheyer is no exception.

  Typical shooter. Doesn't mean he's a great player. Guys that shoot like he does are inevitably going to have big nights at some point.
• swamisez

  

  Scheyer more than likely won't be an NBA player. He will be a off the bench shooter, much like JJ Redick if he makes it.
  
  Doesn't have the explosiveness to create his own shot at the next level, and at 6'3" he isn't tall enough to play a 2 guard and isnt quick enough to be an NBA point guard.

  He is inconsistent. Anyone with his style of play is bound to get hot for a game every once in awhile. LOL at Jon Scheyer being a big game performer...unless I am missing something and big game performer means going 3 for 18 in a loss in the sweet sixteen, the biggest game he has played in to date.
  
  He is as much to blame as anyone for Duke's "live and die by the three" mantra that has resulted in their lack of success in the NCAA tournament lately.

  Not everyone can end each season with their best game of the season in the national championship game.
  
  Even Jason Williams, who scored at will and put up monster game after monster game in leading Duke to the 2001 NCAA Tournament championship, including a game against UCLA in the Sweet 16 that saw Jason score an NCAA record 19 consecutive points for both teams, came up short on occasion. A year after that '01 NCAA romp, Williams played one of the worst games of his career against Indiana in the Sweet 16, missing the game-tying free throw with a couple of seconds left and leaving Duke with an early NCAA exit.
  
  Come on, trep.

  You're the one who called him a big game performer now you're making excuses...you certainly haven't changed. How's Coach K's....well nevermind.
