AUBURN, Ala.- Former Auburn big man Johni Broome joins some elite company after being drafted in the second round by the Philadelphia 76ers. He joins Auburn legend Charles Barkley as the only other Tiger drafted by the 76ers.

Johni Broome has gone from college force at Auburn to second-round NBA draft pick. The Philadelphia 76ers drafted Broome with the No. 35 pick in Thursday's second round.

“I talked to them at the combine, and we had a very good talk,” Broome said during a Thursday night appearance on SiriusXM. “Just how my schedule was, I wasn’t able to get out there (for a workout). But it’s a good group. I think I’m in a good situation. I walk into a very good team that I can help win games and get in the playoffs.”
