The 6-foot-9 standout reportedly signed a four-year contract via the second-round pick exception, according to Kyle Neubeck of PHLY Sports. The first two years are guaranteed on the contract, which includes a team option in the last year.

Selecting the second-rounder could be a smart hedge at power forward because the Sixers could have a tough time re-signing Guerschon Yabusele in free agency.

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.
