"Nobody's checking me" - Arkansas Razorbacks commit Meleek Thomas fired a warning shot at his opponents at the NBPA camp  

No. 8 recruit in the Class of 2025 and Arkansas-bound Meleek Thomas was at the NBA Top 100 Camp last year along with some of the best prospects in the country. The No. 1 prospect in the class AJ Dybantsa was accompanied by the No. 2 recruit in the Class of 2026 as they went around interviewing the players.

They also interviewed Thomas, asking him his name and occupation and if he was the most unguardable player in high school; the Pittsburgh, PA native sent a warning to his opponents:

"Meleek Thomas, guard, like out of every high school player in the world nobody's checking me". (2:40 - 2:47)

Dybantsa also asked Thomas about the hardest player he had to guard. He said:

"Who the hardest player I had to guard? It's not him (pointing towards the player on his right). I probably say I don't know it was only at USA Isaiah Kier".

Thomas plays for Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School and scored 1,750 points in three years. He averaged a double-double as he scored 23.5 points, grabbed 10.8 boards, dished out 5.8 assists, and stole the ball 3.3 times per game.

He also represented New Heights Lightning in the Nike EYBL and averaged 20.3 ppg, 5.1 rpg, and 2.4 apg while playing 27 minutes per game. He had plenty of offers from top colleges including Alabama, Connecticut, Auburn, Kansas, Pittsburgh, Connecticut, and Kansas State, among others.

Thomas joined Kiyan Anthony in the Overtime Elite Academy and talked about his experience with LSU star Flau'Jae Johnson:

"I used to watch everybody, I used to see everything and be behind the scenes and just really pay attention. One day I want this to be me, so now it's just like it's my time, and everything I've prayed for is on the way."

What sets Meleek Thomas apart?

Meleek Thomas ranks in the second spot in the shooting guard position and Georgia. While talking to the Pittsburgh Union, Thomas talked about his defensive abilities and what sets him apart:

"I take pride in defense. The more you get into the season, the harder the games become.

Thomas added:

"The atmosphere becomes bigger. Everything just gets more serious, more intense. So, if I lollygagged around on defense, I would be viewed as a completely different player."

Thomas joined Darius Acuff and Isaiah Sealy in the Razorbacks' commits from the Class of 2025.
