Duolingo roasts Johni Broome over NBA draft combine performance

A moment where Broome is taking a bit of heat, the on-court play of the now-former Auburn star can make up for the clip. His numbers this past year on the Plains were simply incredible, falling just short of winning multiple prestigious National Player of the Year awards.

In 36 games played, Broome averaged 18.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game. Teams had a tough time at the rim when Broome was on the court as well, with the center blocking 2.1 shots every time out there. At the snap of a finger, Broome could take over a game for the Tigers.

He did so on multiple different occasions. Whether it was early at the Maui Invitational, during SEC play, or during the NCAA Tournament. Broome was fantastic throughout and is now hoping to get an opportunity in the NBA.

“I want to give my love to Bruce Pearl and my Auburn Tigers,” program legend Charles Barkley said at the Final Four. “I want to say Johni Broome is the greatest basketball player in Auburn history. I can’t wait to go down there when we retire his jersey. He’s been great for this school, he’s the greatest player in Auburn basketball history with me and John Mengelt and Chuck Person and Mike Mitchell. But he’s taken the throne, man. And I can’t wait to go down there and retire his jersey.”

Right after the NBA Draft lottery, ESPN dropped an updated mock draft. Broome did feature but in the second round. The Worldwide Leader has him going No. 37 overall to the Detroit Pistons. Even with the funny moment, there is plenty of time for Broome to impress and see his draft stock rise.
