Johnson, Fletcher Headed to WCAA Giants of Dutch League
INDIANAPOLIS -- Former Horizon League standouts Cory Johnson and Rahmon Fletcher will be teammates with the WCAA Giants of the Dutch Basketball League after the duo signed with the squad.
Johnson closed his two-year Crusader career with 979 points and 333 rebounds, averaging 14.8 ppg, good for 12th all-time in Valpo basketball history. The forward connected at a 51.9% clip from the floor over his two seasons, ranking seventh in Crusader history in that category as well.
The Duluth, Minn.-native joined the Crusaders as a junior for the 2009-2010 season, posting 15.6 ppg and 5.8 rpg as he earned a spot on the All-Horizon League Second Team, as well as the league’s All-Newcomer Team. Last season, he helped lead Valpo to its tenth postseason berth in the last 16 years, recording 14.1 ppg and 4.4 rpg as the Crusaders earned a home game in the CIT.
Fletcher was a Second Team All-Horizon League performer in his senior season, averaging 15.7 ppg in his senior year. The guard finished his Green Bay tenure with 1,678 points, the fifth-highest total in Phoenix history.
In 2009-10, Fletcher collected three League Player of the Week accolades, earning First Team All-Horizon honors and leading Green Bay to a third-place finish in the League. The Kansas City, Mo.-native would help the Phoenix reach the second round of the College Basketball Invitational (CBI), the program’s second consecutive berth in the tournament.
The WCAA Giants are part of the 10-team Dutch Basketball League, the highest professional basketball league in the Netherlands. The DBL season begins in late September.
