Former Indiana Hoosiers guard Xavier Johnson made the short drive to Indianapolis on Thursday for a pre-draft workout with the Indiana Pacers.
INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Hoosiers guard Xavier Johnson had a day to himself on Wednesday. He was spending time with his friends and enjoying life on the water. Johnson, 24, was in Bloomington, Indiana having a fun afternoon with former teammates in Race Thompson and Trayce Jackson-Davis when a call came in.
This past year, Johnson played without Jackson-Davis. The Hoosiers had less success and finished 19-14 while Johnson dealt with some injuries. The six-year college player averaged 7.6 points and 2.8 assists per game in his final collegiate season. It was a unique NCAA stint for Johnson, who played for six seasons across two schools. The first three were at the University of Pittsburgh, and then he transferred to IU. At his best, he nearly averaged 15 points and six assists per game. But Johnson's numbers, and health, fluctuated.
"Being close to here, only an hour away, I went to an NBA game last year. It was with Trayce in the game. It was a good experience," Johnson said.
