13. Johni Broome – Auburn Tigers

2022-23 season stats: 14.2 ppg and 8.4 rpg

Another quality performer of the G League combine, Broome led Auburn in both points and rebounds and remained an elite shot-blocker at the ACC level. His departure would be a big blow to the team but they do have a pair of forwards that can help replace his production in both Dylan Cardwell and Jaylin Williams, assuming that Williams also returns from the draft process.

12. Chase Audige – Northwestern Wildcats

2022-23 season stats: 14.1 ppg and 2.9 apg

Northwestern got its star guard back in Boo Buie but Audige was just as good for them last season. Not only was he the team’s second-leading scorer, but the guard also was the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. That’s just not something that the Wildcats can replace at this point in the offseason and if they want to make it a historic back-to-back trip to the NCAA Tournament, they’ll need both key guards back.

11. Jalen Bridges – Baylor Bears

2022-23 season stats: 10.3 ppg and 5.6 rpg

After transferring over from West Virginia, Bridges saw a jump in his stats thanks to a consistent stretch of double-digit scoring games in Big 12 play. He also proved to be a versatile four-man and the only source of offense in the frontcourt. After losing all three 15+ ppg scorers from the backcourt, Bridges could potentially be the focal point of Baylor’s offense if he returned.
