Johni Broome

Bloom's performance is impeccable - he averaged 18 points per game, grabbed nearly 11 rebounds, and provided 3.4 assists and 2.7 blocks, while also being a cornerstone of the top team in the United States. He also performed well in important games, consolidating his position as one of the most dominant and offensive and defensive players in college basketball.
His physical fitness, skills, and defensive ability can all affect the direction of the game. He can grab rebounds well on both ends of the attack and defense, efficiently score points in the penalty area, and do some small things well - do a good job of hard cover, frame protection, and play very hard. Although his three-point statistics are not outstanding, he still demonstrates potential interior space attributes, although he needs to continue improving in this field to consolidate his role positioning in the NBA.
However, there is also a lot of controversy surrounding him: some people are concerned about how his playing style can be transferred to the NBA, and he was already 22 years old on draft night and will be 23 years old at the beginning of the season.
But the biggest concern is how he will adapt to the modern NBA. Today's center forward is often required to be able to defend firmly, become an empty threat, or create space, and Bloom is not suitable for these roles. At the same time, the pace of the NBA league is faster, and tall players are often expected to expand their defense, which also puts them to the test. Although he has good dominance at the university level, he lacks top-notch lateral movement and outside shooting abilities, which raises questions about how he will be used in the next level of the league.
If this year were 2005, Bloom would definitely be a first round pick. However, in today's NBA, the ability of tall players to change defense or open up space is more valued. Therefore, despite his impressive resume and impressive statistics, he is more likely to only become a second round pick in the end.
