For 17 years, John Calipari has had at least one player selected in the first round of the NBA draft. That streak is now reliant on where Arkansas forward Adou Thiero lands, as he's the only Razorback projected to go in this year's draft. Mock drafts have him going anywhere from the late first round to the early second round, which really amps up the suspense heading into this evening.
However, if the first-yea razorback basketball head coach keeps his streak going and a team drafts Thiero in the first round, not only will it extend his already unfathomable streak, but Arkansas will also be the third program Calipari's done it with.

Adou Thiero is the only Razorback with much of a chance to be drafted in the 2025 draft. Jonas Aidoo and Johnell Davis are not projected anywhere in the draft, but both could sign with a two-way deal with a team following the conclusion of the draft.
