Personal Life

Meleek Thomas can score with the best of top talent in the country, but he says it is his defense that separates himself for the rest of the pack. "I take pride in defense," Thomas told the Pittsburgh Union Progress. "The more you get into the season, the harder the games become. The atmosphere becomes bigger. Everything just gets more serious, more intense. So, if I lollygagged around on defense, I would be viewed as a completely different player." Thomas scored a game-high 21 points to go along with 10 rebounds, five steals and four assists in the 2024 WPIAL Class 4A boys basketball championship. "He's one of those one-in-a-kind players," Lincoln Park coach Mike Bariski said. "We know we can rely on him game in and game out to be consistent. Plus, he's a real leader on the court."

Meleek Thomas is a bucket-getter who is wired to score. He is electric when it comes to shooting the ball with range that extends well beyond the three-point arc and the confidence that extends to any level. He has good length with some quick-twitch pop to his game. Thomas is able to carve out space off the bounce. His dribble can get him open, and he has the ability to contort his body to get his shoulders squared upon release. He will need to continue adding weight to his frame. Scoring comes so easily to him, he can get shot happy. Thomas is a good on-ball defender and has natural instincts in the passing lanes. he is tracking as one of the top guards, nationally, in his class.
