OVERVIEW:
  • Dropped buckets in some big wins in 2018-19, with 15 off the bench vs. #1 Kansas, 19 vs. Arizona, 28 at Utah and 13 at Oregon State
  • We like him at the free throw line. Want proof? He hit two with 12 seconds left in 70-67 win over Oregon to give ASU the three-point lead on Jan. 17. ASU made 6-of-8 in final five minutes against No. 1 Kansas, including two by Rob with six seconds left to make it a two-possession game
  • Entered ASU with 909 points in 63 games (14.4 ppg.). He has 1,219 career points (13.4 average). Included in that is 71-of-85 (.835) from the free throw line in 2018-19 and .776 (274-of-353) in his career along with 163 three pointers. He missed six games early and only scored 14 points in the first nine games (14 in opener, six DNPs due to a back injury and zero points vs. Nevada and Georgia)
  • Stats last year look a lot better when you remember he went from Nov. 7-Dec. 16 without scoring a point. In those three games he did play, he was 4-of-26 (.154) from field and 2-of-9 (.222) from three and had 14 points (all against CSF in the opener). Many didn't notice because ASU was 6-0, and two of the wins were very impressive (Mississippi State and Utah State)
  • Rob became the fourth Sun Devil to earn Pac-12 Player of the Week last year when ASU topped then No. 1 Kansas 80-76 on Dec. 22 behind his 15 points off the bench points (13 in the second half).
