Grade Johni Broome
Your grade joins the crowd-sourced Fan Verdict.
On the field, Johni Broome grades out as a middling SF for Philadelphia Sixers (C Impact). That places him 68th of 119 graded small forwards. In his on-court role, the grade is shaky (D Role), reflecting how he produces relative to others at his position. The money matches the play — the Contract Value Index lands at C+, fairly priced. The public read is sharply negative (F Sentiment), drawn from current news and social signal rather than the box score. As a prospect, expect these grades to move quickly as a real sample builds.

Earning a C+ Contract Value Index, Johni Broome's 1-year pact reflects Philadelphia's read on rotation impact. At $1.27M AAV on a rookie scale contract, Broome is being paid at the floor appropriate to his 2025 second-round draft status, meaning the salary itself poses zero cap constraint and the real question is whether his on-court production justifies the roster spot. Through 11 games in the 2025-26 season, he's logged 0.9 PPG and 1.5 RPG — minimal counting stats that underscore why his performance grade sits at D+ and sentiment has soured to an F. The meniscus tear suffered during the offseason and subsequent surgical intervention represent a critical inflection point for a 23-year-old still in his rookie season; recovery from such procedures is unpredictable, and lateral mobility matters enormously for a small forward trying to carve out defensive credibility. Media coverage has centered on injury complexity and rehab timelines rather than basketball potential, and while Philadelphia's positive updates and roster retention signal organizational faith in his upside, the current reality is that Broome remains a high-risk developmental asset with a murky near-term window. On a one-year rookie deal with minimal financial commitment, the CVI accurately reflects a player whose contract value hinges almost entirely on health recovery and whether he can earn meaningful rotation minutes before the season concludes.
Other same-position deals the Contract Value Index also places in the C band — a quick read on where Johni's contract sits relative to comparable money.
Johni Broome ranks 68th of 119 graded small forwards by performance. That slots Johni between Aaron Nesmith (D+) just ahead and Leaky Black (D+) just behind.

Johni Broome earns a D+ Performance grade, indicating below-average production relative to other NBA small forwards this season. Through 11 games, Johni is contributing 0.9 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 0.4 assists per game in his role. Johni's best relative area is FG% at 16.7, though it still falls below the small forward median of 46.0. The biggest area for growth is PPG at 0.9 (small forward median: 15.0). Among 119 NBA small forwards graded this season, Johni ranks 68th. At 23, Johni is still developing. The production should improve as he gains experience and a larger role with the Philadelphia Sixers.
Johni Broome is a raw rookie dealing with serious injury setbacks that derail early development. His minimal playing time and poor efficiency metrics provide little positive foundation yet. The meniscus tear significantly complicates timeline expectations for meaningful NBA contributions ahead. Media coverage focuses heavily on injury concerns rather than basketball potential or promise. Fan sentiment leans negative given the combination of limited production and injury complications.
