Cavs Surprise Pick: Meleek Thomas

The Cavs pulled off a surprise second-round steal by selecting Meleek Thomas with pick 34 — a guard with first-round upside who slipped due to a loaded draft. Despite the Cavs having already traded their first-round pick, president Koby Altman praised Thomas’s scoring, playmaking, and efficiency, calling him the most promising remaining player. At 19, Thomas averaged 15.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists as a freshman — and with a stacked draft, his late selection highlights just how deep this year’s talent pool is. Cavs fans are now watching to see if Thomas can live up to the potential they saw in him. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
