Robert John "Robbie" Hummel (born March 8, 1989) is an American professional basketball player for Khimki of the VTB United League. He played college basketball for Purdue University.
Hummel attended Valparaiso High School in Valparaiso, Indiana. Playing under coach Bob Punter, he played alongside his future college freshman teammate, Scott Martin (who transferred to University of Notre Dame after one season at Purdue). Hummel averaged 15.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game as a Viking during his senior season.
Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Hummel was listed as the No. 21 small forward and the No. 75 player in the nation in 2007.
Hummel attended Purdue University to play under head coach Matt Painter and associate head coach Cuonzo Martin. He averaged 11.4 points (second on team), 6.1 rebounds (first) and 2.5 assists a game in his freshman year. Hummel led the baby boilers, along with Chris Kramer, JaJuan Johnson, Keaton Grant, and E'Twaun Moore, to a second-place finish in conference play and on to a second-round NCAA Tournament appearance, where they lost to a senior-led Xavier team. He broke the school freshman record with a 44.7 three-point field goal percentage, while leading the Big Ten Conference. He also recorded the highest free throw percentage for a freshman in school history with 86.5 accuracy, which led the team, and broke Kyle Macy's 33-year-old .859 mark. He was named First Team All-Big Ten, becoming the first true Boilermaker freshman to earn the honor. He finished his freshman season as one of 24 John R. Wooden Award finalists and of 10 finalists for the Oscar Robertson Trophy. He helped lead the Boilers to a 25–9 overall season record.
