John Calipari and the Arkansas Razorbacks will be without two stars from this year’s team.
Darius Acuff Jr. is looking like a top-10 pick, and now Meleek Thomas has decided to remain in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Thomas finished his freshman season and averaged 15.6 points per game with 3.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists. Thomas started 21 games for Arkansas and averaged just over 30 minutes, so he was a key piece for the Razorbacks on their way to a Sweet 16 appearance.
Thomas’ best outing came against Missouri when he scored a season-high 30 points with seven rebounds.
