In today's episode of The Barn Hoops Podcast, we dive into Johni Broome’s selection by the Philadelphia 76ers at No. 35 in the 2025 NBA Draft. Broome closed out his Auburn career as SEC Player of the Year, a Consensus All‑American, and a Final Four standout—averaging 18.6 points, 10.8 boards, and 2.1 blocks—bringing major frontcourt value and maturity to Philly’s roster.

We’ll also analyze Auburn’s recent staff announcements, including the return of Matt Gatens as General Manager, where he'll oversee recruiting, roster planning, NIL strategy, and game prep, plus the promotion of Ian Borders to Assistant Coach, enhancing player development and recruiting efforts on‑court.

Join us as we explore Broome’s NBA fit, dissect Auburn’s evolving player‑development culture, and evaluate how Gatens and Borders will shape the future of Tigers basketball under Bruce Pearl.
