The Philadelphia 76ers envisioned a lot of great things when they decided to draft Johni Broome out of Auburn with the 35th pick in this year’s draft. After all, the team badly needed reinforcements at the center position with Joel Embiid still afflicted by injuries, and he was definitely perceived to have an NBA-ready skill set as a big man.
Instead, Broome has found himself playing for the Delaware Blue Coats, the team’s G-League affiliate, almost exclusively. He has seen very little action with the 76ers, having totaled just 39 minutes all season long (which was bolstered by his considerable court time during a blowout loss to the Magic).
