The Philadelphia 76ers have concluded their summer league campaign, with rookie big man Johni Broome showcasing promising potential after being drafted 35th overall. Across seven games, he averaged 11.6 points and 7.4 rebounds while significantly improving his 3-point shooting efficiency, a notable leap from his college performance. While his shooting mechanics appear unorthodox, the efficiency shown in Vegas is a good sign for the team's future.
Broome's rebounding skills, particularly offensive rebounds, stood out, with 2.4 per game. His quick hands also contributed defensively, averaging 1.3 steals and transitioning plays into fast breaks. The experience gained in summer league will be crucial as he prepares for a competitive season ahead with guidance from established players like Joel Embiid.
