Welcome to “That’s A Wrap,” our player-by-player recap of the 2017-2018 Indiana Hoosiers. Today: Robert Johnson.
Johnson (31 games): 14 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, .8 steals, 37.3 3PFG%, 70.4% FT in 34.2 minutes per game.
The 2017-18 season was Robert Johnson’s first opportunity to be the primary option in Indiana’s backcourt.
In Johnson’s first two seasons, he was often the third option behind Yogi Ferrell and James Blackmon Jr. And as a junior, Blackmon Jr. was the clear go-to-guy for the Hoosiers in the backcourt.
With Blackmon Jr. moving on to pursue professional opportunities and a coaching change from Tom Crean to Archie Miller, there were plenty of adjustments for Johnson to make in his final season in Bloomington.
