With the NBA Draft coming up soon, draft hopefuls are currently doing all they can to prove to front offices that they can compete at the highest level.

Thiero has been listed in mock drafts for months now, projected as a second-round pick in most.
Getting extraordinarily high on Adou Thiero. He’s able to contest like a power forward with his 41 inch vertical and 6’11” wingspan and often was tasked with doing so.
Ignore how this goes in and look at the height of contest here for a 6’6” player. pic.twitter.com/hIfqZCfxeB

Thiero played for Arkansas and head coach John Calipari this past year after beginning his career with Calipari playing for the Kentucky Wildcats. Thiero averaged a career-high 15.1 points and 5.8 rebounds per game this past season for Arkansas in a breakout year. Thiero concluded his collegiate career with more than 600 points and 300+ rebounds.
He is signed with agency Klutch Sports Group.
As a sophomore, he appeared in 25 games for the Wildcats. Thiero averaged 7.2 points and 4.96 rebounds per game on the year. Per Arkansas’ team notes, Thiero led the Kentucky team in rebounding in eight separate games and scored at least ten points five times. Thiero exploded for 16 points and 13 rebounds last season in an early-season contest against Kansas.
Following his sophomore season, Thiero entered the transfer portal, where he was recruited by programs all over the country, including his hometown team Pitt. During the process, Thiero took a visit to Pitt and included the Panthers in his top five list. He eventually chose Arkansas, and joined a loaded roster that included Johnell Davis (FAU transfer), Boogie Fland (five-star freshman), Jonas Aidoo (Tennessee transfer), DJ Wagner (Kentucky transfer), and more.
