Thiero is one of the most athletic players in this year's draft class and is an outstanding finisher who attacks the basket strongly. He is a poor outside shooter and needs to refine his defense, but he could have the potential to become a legitimate rotation player or even a starter down the road.

After agreeing to a trade with the Brooklyn Nets, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Arkansas basketball's Adou Thiero in the NBA Draft.

After trading up twice, the Lakers selected Adou Thiero at No. 36, potentially getting the steal of the 2025 NBA Draft.
