Summary
Meleek Thomas, the Arkansas guard projected to go late in the first round, didn’t get called on draft night — but he’s now poised to be one of the earliest picks in the second round. A scoring machine who averaged over 15 points a game and shot over 40% from the field, Thomas dazzled with his quick first step and ability to create his own shot. Scouts saw him as a gamble — his aggressive style sometimes led to tough shots, and they wanted more playmaking polish. But after becoming a starter in January, he lit up the court, especially from three-point range, setting an Arkansas record and helping the Razorbacks win the SEC Tournament. He completed the pre-draft process and stayed in the draft — now he’s just waiting for his name to be called early in the second round.
