Which NBA teams are courting Auburn basketball's Johni Broome? Full pre-draft visit list
The pre-draft process has inevitably been busy for Auburn basketball's Johni Broome, who's in the thick of 10 visits with different NBA franchises before the draft's start on June 25. Following a workout with the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, Broome said he has completed visits with the Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Detroit Pistons and Los Angeles Clippers, as well as Golden State. Advertisement He also said he has three more visits scheduled, with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Oklahoma City Thunder and Phoenix Suns. "I did this process two years ago, so I kind of know what it's about a little bit," Broome said. "I've been to some different facilities and teams, so that's a little different, but it's been very good. It's kind of showcasing me, being in front of them to see how I am as a person." Broome's third and final season at Auburn ended with the program's second Final Four appearance, and after five years at the collegiate level, the 2025 National Player of the Year candidate moved on with consensus first team All-American and SEC Player of the Year honors, as well as the Karl Malone Award, in 2025. That was in tow with five all-conference honors between the SEC and Ohio Valley Conference. Adam Cole is the Auburn athletics beat writer for the Montgomery Advertiser.
