2025 Draft Profile - Johni Broome

The Ringer - May 27th: "When the competition’s size and speed ratchet up, players of this type typically see their reign over the paint come to an end, but a key potential difference here is that Broome’s (wildly streaky but tolerable in small doses) shooting, passing, and impact as a team defender could widen his opportunities to be useful."

Kyle Boone - CBS Sports - May 23rd: "He's a crafty interior scorer who can bang in the paint and plays a physical style defensively."

NBA Draft Room - May 22nd: "Broome was one of the most dominant players in college basketball this past season but his lack of athleticism and ideal size drop him a big on most draft boards. I like him more as a prospect than some of the past high scoring college bigs (think Drew Timme) and think he could be getting a bit underrated."

Kevin O'Connor - Yahoo! Sports - May 12th: "Broome is a super senior who brings a ready-made game as an interior finisher with a passing feel and tone-setting defense. But his shaky jumper hasn’t progressed as much as NBA teams would hope."

NBA Draft Room - March 22nd: "One of the stars of the college basketball season, Broome is a load to handle in the paint and makings winning plays all over the court. He doesn’t blow you away with speed or athleticism but has great touch inside, a very good feel for the game and is a high level rebounder."

Jonathan Wasserman - Bleacher Report - March 11th: "We've reached a point where it's worth reassessing his dominance and skill development. While scouts might not detect upside with Broome, his floor - due to the translatability of his finishing, rebounding, low-post feel, elite paint touch, passing and interior defense - should be attractive to teams looking for rookie-contract value."

USA Today - March 11th: "A powerful and physical forward, Broome is a double-double machine in points and rebounds but also has a penchant for assists"
