De'Anthony Melton (born May 28, 1998), nicknamed "Mr. Do Something", is an American professional basketball player for the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the USC Trojans of the Pac-12 Conference, but did not play in the 2017–18 season due to the events relating to the 2017–18 NCAA Division I men's basketball corruption scandal. Melton was selected by the Houston Rockets in the second round of the 2018 NBA draft with the 46th pick, but was traded to the Phoenix Suns before his rookie season began. After a season in Phoenix, he was dealt to the Memphis Grizzlies in July 2019. Melton spent three seasons in Memphis before being traded to the 76ers during the 2022 off-season. On July 8, 2024, Melton signed with the Warriors.
