This guy must be one of the most impressive physical freak to have ever played in the NBA. Some of those dunks reminds me of prime Shawn Kemp. <iframe width="854" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/geV7icBgJV8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Wtf? Reminds you of Shawn kemp??? Look Adams is a solid center in today's game but his dunks are nothing near Kemp's. YouTube Kemp.
Adams' dunk are as powerful as Kemp's, no one is contesting him whenever he catches the ball in motion within 8 feet of the basket. He just lacks the ridiculous explosion and fluidity of the Reignman.
Adams is a pretty good player , he can become a really good player . This is his breakout year . He showed signs last year , but put together more consistentcy this season . It took him about 4 years to get to this level . That sounds about right . It will be interesting to see how much better he gets . Playing with great players like KD and WB for sure make it easier for him .
Very good, smart player. The hype is a bit over the top right now, but he has definitely improved both offensively and defensively.
Just turned 23. The physicality and explosive power of that guy is just incredible. Reminiscent of the great centers from the 90s.
Steven Adams casually destroying the imposing Nuggets frontcourt. Ferocious dunks, up and unders, hook shots, unstoppable floaters, etc.
started a franchise with these guys in 2k17. After 3-4 games, immediately made adams an untouchable. The size and athleticism this team has, I wonder if now that KD is gone they might finally find a more solid identity. After the preseason, I would not be surprised to see them sitting top 5 in the west come april .
I can assure you that they won't. This team as currently constructed cannot shoot to save its life. Their only reliable offence is the Westbrook/Adams PNR.
When you don't have a lottery pick, it's tough to draft a good C. Look at his track record in lottery picks: 2007 NBA 1 2 Kevin Durant 2008 NBA 1 4 Russell Westbrook 2009 NBA 1 3 James Harden 2013 NBA 1 12 Steven Adams True the first 3 are top 5 picks, which makes it easier, but these 4 are his ONLY lottery picks. And he drafted very well. No bust
The irony is that Adams will probably be the guy that induces a Nene injury this season being in the South West Division and all.
Adams was taken with the #12 pick. Presti left Giannis Antetokounmpo on the board, taken #15. Guess Durant didn't want him to pick Giannis. fwiw: That wasn't our pick. It was Toronto's from the Lowry trade, that we gave OKC.
I've seen Kemp play...Steve Adams...you are NO WHERE NEAR Shawn Kemp. Perhaps one of the most ridiculous analogies ever used on this board...
#7 I'd love to see live. #5 now there's something you'll never see in todays NBA. Bogut will much rather break your neck on an illegal foul as opposed to letting you make a great play EDIT: #1..... damn
