Auburn senior Johni Broome is beginning to hit the workout circuit after visiting two playoff teams this week, with less than four weeks to go until the 2025 NBA draft.
Broome was a consensus first-team All-American, averaging 18.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.1 blocks on 51% shooting from the field this past season. He joined Charles Barkley (1984) and Chris Porter (1999) as the only Tigers players to win SEC Player of the Year.

The 6-foot-10 forward had his first predraft workout on Wednesday with the LA Clippers. He was then among the prospects who visited the Detroit Pistons on Friday.
Broome leaves Auburn as the only player in history to tally at least 2,500 points, 1,500 rebounds and 400 blocked shots in a career. He set single-season program records for rebounds (389) and double-doubles (21) as a fifth-year senior.
The 22-year-old is considered a potential late first-round pick at this stage of the predraft process. He established himself as one of the most dominant big men in the country, with his ability in the post, rebounding and toughness on a nightly basis.

Broome will have the opportunity to improve his stock in team workouts and interviews up until the draft on June 25-26. He’ll likely visit at least 8-12 teams in total, giving him plenty of chances to make a name for himself against his peers.
