On Thursday, in preparing his No. 12-ranked Blue Devils (3-1, 0-0 ACC) for their true road contest versus the No. 17 Arizona Wildcats (2-1, 0-0 Big 12) at 10:30 p.m. ET Friday (ESPN2), the 37-year-old Scheyer proved to his players and staff on hand that he’s still got it as a high-volume silky sharpshooter.
Albeit of the uncontested variety, Scheyer drained 17 straight catch-and-shoot threes from the corner before gradually sliding out well beyond NBA 3-point range while extending his streak of deep splashes without a miss to 21 overall. Seemingly in an attempt to just show off a bit, the 6-foot-5 Blue Devil put some extra height on his last four makes, and he even banked in one of them.
Check out the accelerated video of Scheyer’s impressive 3-point display, courtesy of the Duke basketball social media team:
Following the bout in Arizona’s famously hostile McKale Center, Jon Scheyer and his crew will get the Blue Devils ready for their Vegas Showdown opening bout against the No. 1 Kansas Jayhawks at 9 p.m. ET Tuesday (ESPN).
