Offense Broome is an interior savant whose well-rounded skill set allows him to impact the game without needing touches catered specifically to him. His efficiency around the basket is elite, as he converted 67.6% of his half-court shots at the rim and 70.6% as a roll man. His offensive rebounding (15.2 ORB%) adds even more easy buckets to his profile, often outmuscling or out-timing opponents for putbacks. That glass dominance puts him statistically ahead of bigs like Walker Kessler and Daniel Gafford at the same stage. Though Broome’s first step can be heavy and he’s not a dynamic driver, he’s comfortable in the dunker spot, as a cutter, and as a short-roll decision-maker. He’s also developed into a reliable playmaker with a 23.5 AST% this season while maintaining a low 7.3 TOV%, a rare blend for a big. He excels from the top of the key or elbows, zipping backdoor passes or kicking to weak-side shooters. His ability to orchestrate actions from the high post adds offensive flexibility that’s hard to find in traditional centers. As a shooter, Broome is serviceable. Since transferring to Auburn, he’s shot 33.1% from three on 5.2 attempts per 100 possessions and 40.9% on unguarded catch-and-shoot attempts over two seasons. While his overall career free-throw mark of 60.4% isn’t ideal, the upward trajectory and confidence in his release are reasons for optimism. He doesn't need to be a floor-spacing weapon, just good enough to force defenses to close out and create passing or cutting lanes. Defense Though Broome lacks ideal vertical pop or length for a traditional rim protector, he’s consistently productive due to his feel, positioning, and physicality. His 9.3 BLK% this season is solid, and he’s holding opponents to just 37% shooting at the rim in the half court. He uses his chest and hands to stay vertical, and his low foul rate (just 3.9 per 100 possessions) shows his discipline. He's capable of patrolling the paint in drop coverage or contesting as a rotating helper with excellent timing. His mobility isn’t elite, but Broome competes well on the perimeter. He absorbs contact, uses his core strength to contain drives, and doesn’t open up his hips easily. He switches in spots, and though he's not a pure switch big, he’s serviceable. As a rebounder, his 26.8 DRB% shows he's a vacuum cleaner on the defensive glass. Broome’s awareness and effort level elevate his defensive value. He may not erase shots above the square, but he consistently wins with anticipation and physicality. He resembles players like Daniel Theis in this regard, undersized by NBA center standards, but savvy enough to cover ground, rotate properly, and wall off lanes with toughness. Looking Ahead Broome’s NBA translation doesn’t rely on flash, instead it hinges on elite feel, strength, and production. He may not be a prototype modern big or fit neatly into any archetype, but he simply gets things done. He’s a legitimate short-roll passer, dominant offensive rebounder, quality rim protector, and floor spacer in progress. While questions remain about his ceiling and fit, particularly if he can scale down his usage and hold up defensively in high-leverage situations, Broome’s skill set is already that of a winning rotation player. He may never be the centerpiece of an offense or a switch-heavy anchor, but Broome is one of the prospects who’s “just good at basketball” in ways that scale up. His blend of toughness, feel, and production, combined with his improving jumper and low-mistake game, make him one of the most underappreciated bigs in this class. He’s the kind of player that quietly sticks around the league for a decade.
