If this actually happens it will go down as a big steal, as I personally have Meleek Thomas as a top 20 guy on my big board. With that said, Thomas rounds out Dallas' first round with a nice backcourt to look forward to in the future to compliment Cooper Flagg alongside Kingston Flemings. Thomas showed that he was capable of taking on a heavy defensive load with Darius Acuff by his side, but I'm sure that load will be heavily reduced. Thomas is a dynamic combo guard, who excels as an all-around scorer, with an amazing touch. This can be heavily enriched by filling out his frame to go along with his speed and high motor. This combination also applies on defense, as he led Arkansas in steals and as mentioned earlier, has lots of promise as a solid NBA defender. The problem is that he's too aware of his abilities, and not aware of what's actually happening in game. To add on, his ball-handling isn't great, which accounts for things like missed dunks, turnovers, and a basically non-existent paint game. He'll be a nice piece who needs developing but can also contribute right away for Dallas' playoff aspirations.
