A former Clemson big man continues to have a strong summer.
Former Tiger Ian Schieffelin, who is playing for Miami in the NBA Summer League, helped lead the Heat to an 119-86 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Schieffelin came off the bench and poured in 16 points on 5-of-7 shooting, including hitting 2-of-3 from beyond the arc. He also pulled down four rebounds, earning the Heat’s Player of the Game belt for the performance.
Earlier in the week, Schieffelin scored 11 points on 4-of-9 shooting, pulled down eight rebounds and blocked two shots in his summer league debut.
A Clemson basketball standout for four seasons from 2021-25, Schieffelin completed his eligibility in basketball before opting to use the final year of his five-year collegiate clock to pursue football.
He joined the Clemson football team as a tight end ahead of fall camp last year and appeared in eight games, totaling 20 offensive snaps and catching two passes for 10 yards.
On the hardwood, Schieffelin was part of one of the most successful runs in school history. He helped lead the Tigers to their second Elite Eight appearance in 2024, the program’s first since 1980.
In his final basketball season, he garnered All-ACC second-team status, while helping Clemson to a 27-7 record, including an 18-2 mark in the ACC. He averaged 33.4 minutes per game, 12.4 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists – all career highs.
During the 2023-24 season, Schieffelin averaged 10.1 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game and was named the ACC’s Most Improved Player.
Overall, in his Clemson basketball career, Schieffelin averaged 8.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.4 blocks across 134 career contests (99 starts). For his career, he shot 50.8 percent from the field and 37.3 percent from 3-point range.
Schieffelin became the 47th 1,000-point scorer in program history (1,067 points) and finished his career ranked seventh in program annals in career rebounds (884). He finished with 262 career assists, the most in Clemson history among players 6-8 or taller.
