What do we think abut him this year? I personally think he could take a step forward on the offensive end. He's shown flashes of it before, and with the addition of 3 point shooters, especially Patterson, he should have more room to operate down low; both on his own, and in the pick and roll with Westbrook. Am I completely off base with that?

I'm sitting on him being almost the same guy he was last year. The hope was that a late 2015-16 season FT% bump would carry over, and it didn't, so he's stuck in that last tier of centers. Nice combo of steals and blocks, though.

I love that we have a forum now!

Ya, I'm a sucker for those out of position stats. Getting steals from my C makes me happy, and the 1 assist is a bonus. He definitely needs to bring up the ft%, but I like him this season, especially as my 3rd Center.

Also a fan of the forum

Jay,

I expect a slight improvement. Some players blow-up and break-out but Adams is more of a slow and steady development guy. Visualizing him as a third center, just as "extra" big man stats is the perfect perspective to view him.
