Jon Scheyer has done one heck of a job as the Duke basketball head coach, bringing the Blue Devils to a Final Four in 2025. However, he's even getting praise from NBA head coaches, as Charlotte Hornets HC Charles Lee says that Scheyer might as well be on the sidelines with how well Kon Knueppel and Sion James have been playing. Knueppel and James, two former Duke products, were selected by Charlotte with the fourth and 33rd overall picks in the 2025 NBA Draft, respectively. Scheyer has established himself not only as one of the best recruiters in the nation, but one of the best developers of talent as well.
