Scheyer, Thomas named Duke captains

Seniors Jon Scheyer and Lance Thomas have been named co-captains of Duke's basketball team, coach Mike Krzyzewski announced Thursday.

Scheyer, a starting guard who was the most valuable player of the 2009 ACC Tournament, also served as a captain last season. Thomas is a forward who has started 62 of the 100 games he has played during his career.

"Jon and Lance have both been great leaders on and off the court for our program," Krzyzewski said in a statement released by the school. "Jon has a great approach to the game and is one of the most consistent performers in practice and during games. Lance brings a work ethic and fiery competitiveness that teammates rally around."
