47. Johni Broome | C | Auburn

Broome is one of the most productive players in college basketball, a stout rim-protector who plays with impressive physicality while also showing offensive versatility. He does a good amount of shot creation for Auburn, has made 27 3s in 34 games this season, is powerful operating with his back to the basket, and is an excellent rebounder and a much-improved passer. Broome doesn't have great size, length or explosiveness for a center and has some questions to answer about his footspeed defensively and how his bully-ball style and unorthodox shooting mechanics translate to the NBA game. The NCAA tournament platform could help remind scouts how good of a season Broome is having and why his productivity might be worth betting on despite his aesthetically unique style of play.
