NBA Twitter reacts to Sixers selecting Johni Broome with No. 35 pick
The Philadelphia 76ers made their second selection of the 2025 NBA draft on Thursday night as they decided to take a chance on Auburn star Johni Broome with the No. 35 overall pick. Broome, the 2025 SEC Player of the Year, slid to Round 2 after averaging 18.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 2.1 blocks per game.
