2010 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Jon Scheyer


Position: Guard

Size: 6-5, 190

School: Duke, Senior


Strengths:

Outstanding shooter

Great range from the perimeter

Catch and shoot ability

Free throw shooting

Nice use of floater in the lane

Rarely turns the ball over

Court vision

Effective in pick and roll situations

Moves well without the ball

Great basketball IQ

Proven winner who doesn't get rattled in high pressure situations



Weaknesses:

Lacks great quickness on either end

Not physical

Will be a defensive liability at the next level

Ability to create his own shot

Attacking the basket

Summary: An NBA team knows what they are going to get in Jon Scheyer if they draft him. He will not be a superstar or a starter, but he is a threat from deep who should be able to come off the bench and knock down some outside shots. While he runs the point at Duke, he will likely transition back to a shooting guard role at the next level. His stellar senior season has increased the likelihood of a team taking him in the second round and hoping he can provide some scoring punch off the bench.

Player Comparison: Coby Karl. Karl has a job in the NBA because he can shoot the ball from deep, which is the only reason Jon Scheyer will find a home at the next level. Karl rarely sees the floor, but Scheyer has the ability to develop into a role similar to what J.J. Redick plays in Orlando.
