Dudes. Here's a few things I'm diggin' about Broome. He's peaking at the right time. He's playing some of his best, most consistent basketball in.....March. From my vantage point he has steadily improved on both ends of the floor and seems to be buying into Mick's system and better understanding his role. We know that success in the NCAAT is based a lot on good, solid guard play. What a bonus to have him getting more comfortable and confident as we speak. We knew he could shoot from beyond the arc, but he can create his own shot and I don't think there is a player on the team with his quicks to drive to the hoop from a standing still position. Check out these numbers for comparison sake:

What stands out is his shooting percentages are better and his turnovers are way down. Good for us if he can hold that trajectory for the coming weeks.

Also, he's a junior so I can't wait to see him next year after he has time to work on film and develop his game further over the offseason.
