Former Duke basketball star and six-time NBA All-Star Jayson Tatum will be the Blue Devils' chief basketball officer, the program announced on Tuesday, Oct. 7.
Tatum, who played at Duke in 2016-17, will be the first to hold the role.
"We are honored to welcome Jayson Tatum as our Chief Basketball Officer," Scheyer said in a school issued statement. "This program has always been about pushing the game forward. Jayson has been incredibly loyal to Duke since the day he committed, and this evolution represents the next step in how we connect The Brotherhood to the future of our players. Jayson is the ultimate professional. His ability to inspire, motivate, and guide our student-athletes is unmatched, and I could not be more excited to see the impact he will have on our team and our culture."
