At the NBA Combine, Johni Broome showcased a less impressive vertical jump of just 24.5 inches, which has drawn significant attention and criticism, especially when compared to former Florida Gators defensive lineman Desmond Watson, who achieved a 25-inch jump at 464 pounds. The stark contrast has led to humorous comments online, notably by Duolingo, suggesting Broome learn Chinese to improve his athleticism. Watson, now part of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has been undergoing a body transformation, shedding weight to enhance his performance as he prepares for the NFL Draft. Broome's lackluster jump could impact his NBA draft stock, although his strength lies in his basketball IQ and positioning rather than raw athleticism.

The ACL tear raises questions about his long-term durability and readiness to compete at the professional level.
