Rebounding, defense and depth keys to success for 2022-23 Tigers Three aspects of Auburn's play stood out on opening night and each will likely be keys to success for Coach Bruce Pearl's basketball team.

Allen Flanigan - Does not make field goal Flanigan (illness) logged three points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one steal and one block across 22 minutes during a 70-52 win Monday versus George Mason.
Impact Flanigan will try to redeem himself as Auburn's 2022-23 season continues. The senior averaged 6.3 points on a 39.5 field goal percentage (20.5 three-point) during his junior year. Unfortunately for him, he was much better across Auburn's 2020-21 season. Flanigan averaged 14.3 points on a 45.5 field goal percentage (33.8 three-point) that campaign.

Johni Broome - Blocks four shots Broome (ankle) logged 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, four blocks, two steals and one assist across 25 minutes during a 70-52 win Monday versus George Mason.
Impact Broome's latest log is expected to be a preview of his Tigers career. They signed him so he could replace Walker Kessler, who averaged 4.6 blocks there before declaring for the 2022 NBA Draft. Fantasy managers should expect Broome to be a shot blocker talented like his predecessor was.
NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jaylin Williams - Starts in place of Smith Williams (illness) logged seven points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three steals and one assist across 23 minutes during a 70-52 win Monday versus George Mason.
Impact Auburn needed someone to start in place of Jabari Smith (who declared for the 2022 NBA Draft) and selected Williams. However, he may not be regularly starting. Yohan Traore is a four-star recruit Auburn signed to replace Smith and possibly play in place of the senior Williams.

Johni Broome - In starting five Monday Broome (ankle) is starting in Monday's season opener against George Mason, per Justin Ferguson of AuburnObserver.com.
Impact Broome was considered questionable to play in Auburn's season opener after injuring his ankle and being spotted in a walking boot Wednesday. The 6-foot-10 sophomore missed practice Friday, but his ability to make it onto the floor for Monday's opening tip indicates he should be good to go this regular season. Broome started all 34 games for the Tigers last season, recording 16.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 3.9 blocks over 28.2 minutes per game.

Auburn opens the season as No. 12 team in ESPN's Basketball Power Index ranking Expectations are high for Bruce Pearl and the Auburn Tigers to start the season.

Jalen Harper - Appears available Monday Harper (illness) appears in line to be available for Monday's season opener against George Mason, Justin Ferguson of AuburnObserver.com reports.
Impact While Harper wasn't specifically mentioned by name, the reporter did note that "Bruce Pearl is indeed going to have everybody but Chance Westry (knee) for the opener." This appears to imply that Harper -- who missed Friday's practice due to illness -- will be available. Despite seemingly gaining clearance, it's possible the senior walk-on still doesn't see the court due to his projected spot in the rotation.
NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jaylin Williams - Looks to be back for opener Williams (illness) is warming up and appears to be available for Monday's season opener against George Mason, Justin Ferguson of AuburnObserver.com reports.
Impact Williams was part of a group of players who missed practice Friday due to illness, but it appears Auburn will have them available, as the team will be nearly at full strength for the opener. Williams saw his playing time dip last year due to Auburn having an incredibly deep and talented frontcourt, so he'll now have his sights set on returning to the 10.9 ppg and 4.7 rpg type of production from his 2020-21 campaign.
NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Allen Flanigan - Looks clear for opener Flanigan (illness) is warming up and should be available for Friday's opener against George Mason, Justin Ferguson of AuburnObserver.com reports.
Impact Flanigan was part of a group of players who missed practice Friday due to an illness that wasn't going around the team, but it appears he's now in the clear. The senior has been a starter for back-to-back seasons at Auburn, but he missed significant time at the start of last season due to injury, and his scoring average dipped eight points per game. He'll look to get back on track in his senior season.
NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Johni Broome - Warming up ahead of opener Broome (ankle) is participating in pregame shootaround ahead of Monday's game against George Mason, Justin Ferguson of AuburnObserver.com reports.
Impact This is a good sign for Broome's chances to go in the opener. He has been dealing with an ankle injury of late and been unable to practice. Broome is expected to be a big factor this season for coach Bruce Pearl. He averaged 16.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 3.9 blocks per game a year ago with Morehead State.
