Trust the Reprocess -The Official 2025-26 76ers Season Thread

[JoelB]

Two years ago, Johni Broome went through the predraft process before opting to head back to college. That’s when he first met with the Sixers. So he has an idea of what the team will expect from him. “They told me what they like about me, and what I need to work on at college,” Broome said. “I came back ... and they were impressed with the jump I made. They are excited about the things I can do that’s going to translate, making playing, obviously, defensively and my touch around the rim, and my playmaking, rebounding at a high level. They are excited about all those things.” Sixers select Johni Broome with 35th pick, filling a need and taking a chance on Auburn star https://inquirer.com/sixers/sixers-johni-broome-2025-nba-draft-auburn-vj-edgecombe-20250626.html?utm_source=t.co&utm_campaign=edit_social_share_twitter_traffic&utm_medium=social&utm_content=&utm_term=&int_promo= via

According to The Athletic/WSJ we did try to shop the pick. Im assuming Ace's antics tanked the value.

Press conference bout to start

Would y’all do a

Grimes for Whitmore and 2027 Brooklyn first deal?

I keep hearing doing a S&T with him will be more difficult bc of the cba. Something about only half his salary will be able to go out and then we'll be hard capped... I need to find an article breaking it down.

Id probably say no to that deal tho. I want a young big man in return

Drummond is ass
Yabu is gone (im tellin yall, we're going to miss his ability to space the floor)
Bona is still raw
IDK what to expect out of Broome

39% three point shooter stretch 4

-----------------------------------------------------

They calling him Ricky Council the fifth

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Johni's Advanced statistics. I see why Morey grabbed him

Swear to God I never saw Igor hit a 3 when I’d watch a UTk game. I know he had to hit em with the green light he had and the fact they’d draw looks up for him, but I used to call bro a theoretical shooter. I thought he had some competitive moments around the rim against Broome in our first game against them tho.

He shot 38% on almost 5 attempts at Charlotte....the percentage dropped drastically at Tennessee...i need to watch more footage on him



on another note, some of the passes from Broome got me ...0:30, 0:37, & 1:09

Sixers bench should improve next year if these picks work out

 

[Leasy]

Grimes for Whitmore and 2027 Brooklyn first deal?

Hell no

 

[Leasy]

Told yall we didn’t need Ace Bailey they the same size and Edwards is more of a compete player

 

[Leasy]

I don’t know if yall notice we building a team post Embiid. Can yall see it? This looks like Nick Nurse Raptors team

Edwards is locked in for dirt cheap too...and when we do have to pay him, we'll have his full Bird rights so we'll be able to go over the cap to keep him.

Morey killed that Edwards find . The sad part is he's building an incredible team under the new CBA rules, its just the PG/Biid contracts are backbreakers.

*edit

did he rent or buy?

His foot speed is gonna be an issue no doubt, but just in terms of running some of the same stuff from the same spots, there’s a lotta overlap to where we’d (Auburn) initiate sets to what Philly did with Embiid as he became more perimeter based.

Ain’t nothing comparable to the NBA, but Broome was processing doubles and help shading over in what was statistically the best conference in modern history. You can’t really feel better about a center’s ability to process competition than what he displayed last year.

I think they do a S&T for Grimes. I don't see the room for him here.
