Robert Johnson returning to Indiana for his senior season
Indiana Hoosiers junior guard Robert Johnson has withdrawn his name from the 2017 NBA Draft and will return to school for his senior season, per Jon Rothstein of FanRag Sports.
What It Means:
With teammates O.G. Anunoby, Thomas Bryant, and James Blackmon hiring agents and staying the draft, Johnson is in line for a significant role in newly-hired head coach Archie Miller's system next fall. He could become the primary scoring option for the Hoosiers in the 2017-18 season after taking 10.6 shots per game last season.
Johnson averaged 12.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 2.1 three-pointers per game while posting a .562 true shooting percentage in 2016-17.
