Where Auburn star Johni Broome lands in latest ESPN projection, one week before NBA draft Here's what ESPN is saying about Broome's draft stock less than one week from the draft.
Following Tahaad Pettiford's decision to withdraw from NBA draft consideration, all attention turns toward Johni Broome and where he ends up in this year's draft.
Broome continues to receive second-round draft status, with the most recent forecast coming from ESPN. ESPN's latest mock pairs Broome with the Washington Wizards at No. 40 overall, and he is the lone Tiger in this mock pieced together by Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo.
Broome worked out with several NBA franchises, including the Boston Celtics, Atlanta Hawks, and Golden State Warriors. However, the Wizards were not among those who met with the Auburn star during pre-draft workouts. However, trade rumors involving Jordan Poole could result in the Wizards taking on more talent through the draft, which is where Broome could come into play.
Broome said in a recent interview that he is willing to play for any team that takes a chance on him.
'I'm going to keep going, playing basketball and finding ways to win for my team and find ways to get it done," Broome said. "Whoever picks me will get a good player, a dog, somebody who's going to contribute to winning.'
Broome will learn his NBA draft fate next week as the NBA draft begins next Wednesday, June 25.
