Jan 10, 2026; Durham, North Carolina, USA; Duke basketball forward Cameron Boozer (12) talks to head coach Jon Scheyer during the first half against the Southern Methodist Mustangs at Cameron Indoor Stadium. | Rob Kinnan-Imagn ImagesJon Scheyer has not made many poor decisions this season for the Duke basketball team but his choice to change the starting lineup prior to Saturday’s game against SMU was confusing.
