Verdict:

Broome is another guy like Clayton that you have to love and enjoy watching (I liked the telephone taunt).  But it’s just hard to understand exactly what his role would be in the NBA or at least a role that you would want to reach on early.

Most of his college offense was generated from post ups and while that can be useful situationally in the NBA, it’s just hard to see a team wanting to run any material chunk of their offense through him in the post.  That will be most useful when there is a switch during a P&R and he wants to punish a smaller guard.  So what’s next then.  He can run some P&R as the screener, but he’s not an especially big target and that was a smaller part of his college game (10% of possessions last season).  He can’t shoot yet.  That doesn’t leave a lot offensively.

And then defensively, it’s possible he can move his feet and is strong enough to keep some opposing bigs out of the post, but even that is more about survival than being a potentially elite defender like someone like Maluach or Beringer at least as the hope of becoming.  So if you can’t contribute much offensively and aren’t providing much more than potentially average, situational defense then what can a player like Broome bring to the table?

I really want to wishcast him into a modern day Carlos Boozer role, but the odds are he is going to try to have to wedge himself into more of a Kenrich Williams or James Michael McAdoo type role to stick around for a bit.  I hate to bet against someone like Broome, who I know will work his tail off to evolve his game.  So I think he’s worth a gamble, but I think more around the 35-45 range.

NBA Comp High:

High-Low: Taj Gibson or Trevion Williams
High-Low: Taj Gibson or Trevion Williams
My money is on an outcome closer to Williams, as if you thought Broome was the next Taj Gibson (who was voted top 10 for 6th man of the year 3 times) you'd have him probably in the teens. But there's a really good chance that he's closer to Williams or while they are less similar other past college studs like Oscar Tshiebwe. But there is a chance that Broome expands his game and slims down a bit to pick up some speed while still retaining his strength and at least gets closer to the high watermark of Taj and carves out a 10 year career and rotational role for some playoff teams.
