It's obvious he will follow Wojo and become a head coach. With how smart of a player he was, will be a successful one. But where does he rank playing wise?


He played the most consecutive games in Duke history (144), shot the third-highest free throw percentage (.861), shot the third-most free throws (608), shot the fourth-most 3-pointers (297), and is ranked ninth in scoring (2,077 points). He holds the ACC single-season record for minutes (1,470; in 2009–10) and the Duke freshman free throw record (115), shares the Duke record for points off the bench in a game (27), and had the third-longest streak of consecutive free throws in Duke history (40).


I'd say he has to be a top 10 player of all time.

Top 10 all time player there, for sure. Never is appreciated enough. He was the most consistent player in his four years that I've ever seen there. It was literally like every time he had the ball, something good happened.

His contributions there cannot be overstated.

Production wise I guess the argument can be made. Talent wise, nah. With players leaving early, players like Scheyer who stay 4 years will always have the statistical advantage in these discussions.

a top 10 would have:
Reddick
Laetner
WoJo
Battier
Grant Hill
Johnny Dawkins
Hurley
Danny Ferry

i think those 8 are no brainers. It's hard to pick guys that played for a year, or two.

I'd pick any two of these 3 next.
Jay Williams
Scheyer
Brand

These guys could make a case but i dont' think they are top 10.
Boozer
Langdon
Singler
Dunleavy
Parks
Shelden Williams

Laettner
Grant Hill
Jay Williams
Dawkins
Heyman
Battier
Ferry
Groat
Hurley
Redick
Scheyer

IMO. Scheyer was incredible his senior year, no way they win a championship without him.

I'm not sure where I would place Scheyer all time, however, I would definitely put him behind Jay Williams.

Down by 10 Maryland with 54 seconds left and Jay Williams takes over.
