OKC Thunder Host Two More Prospect Visits as 2025 NBA Draft Looms

One of the most prodcutive college basketball players in the country this season, Broome averaged 18.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.1 blocks per game while shooting 51% from the field. The fifth-year senior helped lead Aubrun to the Final 4, capping off an impressive college career with SEC Player of the Year and consensus All-American honors.

At the combine, Broome measured 6-foot-9 and a quarter of an inch without shoes while weighing 249 pounds and recording a 7-foot and a quarter of an inch wingspan. With good length, experience and production, the soon to be 23-year-old could be a solid pick for OKC in the second round, adding another big man to the team's rotation.

Broome's athletic testing in Chicago was lackluster, though, and the veteran post player doesn't have much of a perimeter shot. Still, if he can play solid defense, move the ball on offense and help on the glass, Broome could find a place in the organization.

One day after Broome revealed that he worked out with the Thunder, St. John's guard Deivon Smith also posted on social media that he was in the Modern Frontier for a pre-draft visit.

A fifth-year senior who played at Mississippi State, Georgia Tech and Utah before finishing his career with the Red Storm, Smith averaged 9.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.4 steals per game. The former 4-star recruit shot 35.2% from beyond the arc and 38% from the field while helping Rick Pitino's team earn a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Listed at 6-feet tall and 175 pounds, it seems unlikely that Smith gets drafted, but the veteran guard could earn his way onto OKC's summer league roster as an undrafted free agent.
