“I feel like our skill sets complement each other,” Bona said of Broome, a 6-9, 249-pound power forward/center. “Me and Johni, we cannot wait to be able to share the floor together, to be about to operate on the low block together, high low, sometimes pace the floor. “So I think that’s the goal, to work together, to be able to learn each other’s strengths and weaknesses and try to complement each other while we’re on the floor, and my goal is always to be able to help the team, even if I share the floor with Joel [Embiid]. I’m going to do my part.”
Adam Aaronson: VJ Edgecombe: “I’m just ready to play some basketball. That’s it.” Johni Broome: “I feel the same way… I’m ready to play basketball as well.”

After five years competing in college basketball, Auburn standout forward Johni Broome has declared for the 2025 NBA draft, he announced on Instagram on Wednesday night.
Broome posted a heartfelt statement on social media, thanking Morehead State, where he spent his first two seasons, and then Auburn, where he finished up his final three collegiate seasons. He ended his statement by declaring for the NBA draft.
Duke's Cooper Flagg on Saturday became just the fourth freshman to win the Wooden Award as the most outstanding men's college basketball player. Flagg edged Auburn's Johni Broome, while Florida's Walter Clayton Jr., Alabama's Mark Sears and Purdue's Braden Smith were the other finalists. Flagg had been considered the favorite for the award during the second half of the season, when he emerged as the most consistently dominant player in the sport in leading Duke to the ACC regular-season and conference tournament championships and the program's first Final Four appearance since Mike Krzyzewski retired. He won both ACC Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year and is the clear-cut leader to be selected No. 1 in June's NBA draft.
Johni Broome, the Morehead State transfer forward that led the Tigers in scoring and rebounding in 2022-23, announced on Monday he will withdraw his name from NBA Draft consideration and return to The Plains for an additional season.
