Meleek Thomas, the 34th pick of the draft, has signed a four-year contract with the Cavaliers, Jeff Goodman of Goodman Hoops tweets.

The contract is worth $9.3MM with the first three years and $6.4MM guaranteed. It’s a minimum-salary deal using the second-round pick exception.

Playing alongside Kings lottery pick Darius Acuff at Arkansas in 2025/26, Thomas averaged 15.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.5 steals in 30.5 minutes per game, appearing in 37 games and starting 21 of them. The 6’3″ combo guard knocked down an impressive 41.6% of his 5.3 three-point attempts per game and hit 84.3% of his free throws, earning a spot next to Acuff on the SEC’s All-Freshman team.

Thomas was widely projected as a late first-rounder but wound up slipping to the early second round, where Cleveland snapped him up. He’ll likely spend his rookie season developing his game at the G League level.
