Southern Miss Guard with Elite Scoring Intensity and All-Conference Pedigree
Meloney Thames is a high-intensity guard for the Southern Miss Lady Eagles who averaged 13.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in the 2025-26 season, playing every minute of all 31 games to showcase unmatched durability and intensity. Her differentiator is her relentless scoring drive, highlighted by a 17-point performance against Arkansas St. and a career of leading teams in triples (56 in 2024-25), paired with a personality that refuses to sit out despite past injury risks. Thames is an All-Sun Belt Preseason Third Team honoree (2025-26) with two NJCAA Honorable Mention All-American titles, proving she thrives under pressure. She is a perfect fit for any team needing a guard who brings elite scoring, defensive grit (50 steals), and a 'never-bench' mentality, though her 34.2% FG% suggests she needs a system that creates space for her aggressive style.
