Duke men's basketball head coach Jon Scheyer said during an interview with The Field of 68 that he beat Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum in one-on-one last summer.

The 37-year-old Scheyer was a high school basketball star for Glenbrook North in Illinois, becoming a 5-star recruit and a McDonald's All-American.

He signed with Duke and played there for four seasons, earning consensus second-team All-American and first-team All-ACC honors in 2010 en route to helping lead the Blue Devils to a national championship.

Scheyer played professionally overseas for a few years before returning to Duke as an assistant in 2014.
