NCAA top inside scorer? 76ers inside rookie still doesn t find form in the summer league

In a previous NBA Summer League California Classic, the Philadelphia 76ers narrowly defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 91-90 after a hard fight. After this game, the 76ers won the first victory in the summer league, with a current record of 1 win and 2 losses, while the Grizzlies, who suffered a two-game losing streak, have dropped to 1 win and 2 losses.

In this game, the performance of 76ers' starting center Johni Broome is still mixed. Bloom played 23 minutes and 27 seconds in the game, made 3 of 11 shots, 0 of 5 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 4 free throws, scoring 8 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks, including 5 frontcourt rebounds, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls, and the plus and negative value reached the highest +12 in the game. Bloom's performance on the offensive end was not ideal. He got a lot of frontcourt rebounds, but his scoring ability, shooting ability, passing and supporting ability seemed to have not been shown. His performance on the offensive end was shocking. On the other hand, Bloom's performance on the defensive end is also very outstanding. He has also demonstrated his comprehensive defensive ability. His rebounding ability and rim protection ability are beyond everyone's expectations, and his role on the court is obvious to all. Bloom did not play his best, but he still played his value and made a huge contribution to the team's victory.

Summer League so far, Bloom has averaged 24 minutes of playing time in the first three games, with averaging 9 points, 7 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks, and 2.3 turnovers and 3 fouls. His shooting percentage is 31%, his three-point shooting percentage is 28.6%, and his free throw shooting percentage is 45.5%. Bloom's offensive performance in the summer league has been unsatisfactory. His offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage are both a mess, and even his performance at the free throw line is a very bad level. But on the other hand, Bloom's performance on the defensive end was far beyond expectations. It seems that he is a pretty good inside defender, and his ability in this regard does not seem to be bad.

Bloom was born in July 2002 and is 22 years old. He is the inside player selected by the Sixers with the 35th pick in the second round in this year's NBA Draft. According to data from the previous joint trial physical test, Bloom's bare feet are 206.4cm in height, 214cm in wingspan, 275.6cm in height, and 113.1kg in weight. In the NCAA game last season, Bloom played 36 times for Auburn University, with averaging 30.3 minutes per game, with averaging 18.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.1 blocks, including 3.7 frontcourt rebounds, 1.6 turnovers and 2.1 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 51%, a three-point shooting percentage of 27.8%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 58.7%.

Bloom's performance last season was phenomenal. He was the Carl Malone Award (Best Power Forward), Pitt Newell Award (Best Low Scorer), and the SEC League Best Player Award. He was also shortlisted for the All-American First Team and the SEC League Best Team, which was a year of great harvest. Therefore, even though he is older and his athletic ability is not ideal, he can still be selected with a good pick. However, in the NBA arena, it seems that his performance is still average and he has not fully performed at his level. He is clearly the best inside scorer in the NCAA field, why is his offensive performance so bad in the summer league?
