Overview

• Philadelphia used the 35th overall pick to draft 6-foot-10 forward/center Johni Broome after his standout five-year college career at Morehead State and Auburn.
• The team regained its 2025 second-round pick by trading Caleb Martin and a 2030 second-rounder to the Mavericks, turning that asset into Broome.
• Broome averaged 18.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.1 blocks per game last season, leading Auburn to a 32-6 record and a Final Four appearance.
• His versatile skill set combines physical interior scoring, rebounding and shot-blocking with uncommonly refined passing that could boost perimeter players like Tyrese Maxey and Jared McCain.
• Viewed as a backup power forward or center, Broome offers size and experience to Philadelphia’s frontcourt rotation while his outside shooting continues to develop.
