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.
