Latest NBA Draft prospects for Adou Thiero

The 2025 NBA Draft begins on June 25 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Following the season, three Arkansas players entered the NBA Draft process, but only Adou Thiero opted to remain in the draft. Karter Knox is returning to Arkansas, and Boogie Fland transferred to Florida after withdrawing from the draft.

Thiero announced his decision to stay in the draft on the final day, dispelling rumors of a potential return to Arkansas for his senior season. His inclusion means Arkansas head coach John Calipari could extend his streak of having a player drafted to 17 consecutive years if Thiero is selected.

Multiple mock drafts project Thiero's potential selection: Yahoo Sports (Round 1, Pick 28 to Boston Celtics), NBADraft.net (Round 2, Pick 38 to San Antonio Spurs), ESPN (Round 2, Pick 33 to Charlotte Hornets), Bleacher Report (Round 2, Pick 39 to Toronto Raptors), and The Ringer (Round 1, Pick 30 to Los Angeles Clippers).

In unrelated Arkansas baseball news, Zach Root delivered a strong performance in Tuesday night's 7-3 victory over UCLA. Head coach Dave Van Horn and players addressed the media postgame.
