Adou Thiero - NBA Mock Draft Roundup 1.0
Leading up to the 2025 NBA Draft, we will track where Arkansas Razorbacks forward Adou Thiero appears in the latest NBA mock drafts.
Adou Thiero NBA Mock Drafts
Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which Adou Thiero has appeared:
Round 1, Pick 25 — Memphis Grizzlies
Arkansas junior Adou Thiero is one of the most impactful transfers in the nation. He fits the statistical profile that the Grizzlies front office tends to value. Other prospects potentially available in this range that are also relatively close to those thresholds include Sorber, Murray-Boyles, Johni Broome, Nique Clifford, and Danny Wolf.
Round 1, Pick 29 — Los Angeles Clippers (via OKC)
He's strong, athletic, potentially versatile defensively, and competes with a high motor. If the shooting ever becomes reliable, he would be a very nice role player, which is what the Clippers would love to find here.
Bleacher Report — Jonathan Wasserman
Round 1, Pick 26 — Brooklyn Nets (via NYK)
Adou Thiero's shooting remains problematic, but he's improved his ability to create for himself inside the arc, a needed development that's turned him into a more versatile scoring threat in the half court.
Between the open-floor athleticism for transition offense, the play-finishing, defensive playmaking and now the tougher driving ability, teams could start to talk themselves into an outlier, non-shooting wing or combo forward.

Round 1, Pick 23 — Orlando Magic
The Magic have seen their depth tested this season after a series of injuries and could add another versatile forward to develop alongside their promising young core. Thiero is having a breakout season at Arkansas with highlight-reel plays on both ends of the floor, thanks to his explosive athletic profile.
He is difficult to contain in the open court, attacking in a straight line with his powerful first step and ability to absorb contact. But he has room to grow as a ball handler and perimeter shooter. He is more of a mixed bag defensively than one might expect because of his developing awareness and feel for the game.
Arkansas will need him to find another gear with his intensity and consistency in SEC play. How much improvement he makes as a shooter will be a key question for possibly the Magic and any other NBA teams. -- Givony
