22. Atlanta Hawks (via Lakers) - Johni Broome, C, Auburn
Broome has been the best player in college basketball this year, and it’s brought renewed interest in his pro projection. The 6’10, 235-pound big man is an absolute bulldozer as an interior scorer, has showed great shot-making touch from mid-range (nearly 50 percent on his first 63 mid-range twos), and he’s a good enough passer and decision-maker to be the hub of an offense. Broome has been a fantastic rim protector (10 percent block rate) and rebounder on both ends of the floor, and those skills aren’t going to disappear just because he’s a bit undersized for an NBA five. As a fifth-year college player there’s bound to be plenty of skepticism about Broome’s NBA potential, but he’s been so damn good this year that he deserves a chance.Broome to the GOAT @stutsman23
