The life of Duke basketball treasure Jon Scheyer is about to become Crazie.

It was only just over a decade ago that Jon Scheyer was a team captain leading the 2009-10 Duke basketball team to a championship.

After an attempt at a professional career was cut short due to an eye injury, Scheyer returned back to the place that helped make him into who he is. Since 2014, he’s played a key role in Duke basketball success stories as an assistant coach on the bench and by helping land recruits.
