Johni Broome arrived in Philadelphia as one of the most decorated big men in recent college basketball, the 76ers' No. 35 pick in 2025 and the first Auburn product they'd drafted since Charles Barkley in 1984. At Auburn he was a unanimous first-team All-American and SEC Player of the Year, anchoring a No. 1 seed to the 2025 Final Four while posting 18.6 points, 10.8 rebounds and 2.1 blocks a night. The resume's real tell is longevity: he's the only Division I player ever to reach 2,500 points, 1,500 rebounds and 400 blocks. His rookie year was a redshirt in all but name — 11 games, spot minutes behind a crowded frontcourt. Broome's game leans on feel and physicality rather than bounce, so his NBA development hinges on defending in space and finishing over longer, quicker bigs.
Offensive Game
Polished offensive center who scores in the post, from the elbow, and as a pick-and-roll finisher. Consensus National Player of the Year as a college center.
Defensive Game
Physical rim protector who uses strength and positioning to deter drivers. SEC's premier defensive center in his final college season.
Intangibles
One of the highest-IQ prospects in the 2025 class — Auburn's entire offense ran through his decision-making in the 2024-25 season.
Did You Know?
Broome is the first consensus National Player of the Year to join the Philadelphia 76ers program in the modern era.
He spent four full seasons at Auburn — rare in today's one-and-done era — developing the complete skill set that made him the most decorated college player in the 2024-25 season.
Growing up in Broward County, Florida, Broome attended Montverde Academy, one of the premier basketball prep schools in the country.
His combination of post skill, passing, and rim protection in one player is compared by scouts to the modern two-way center archetype that NBA teams increasingly covet.
