Scouting Report:
An
athletic scorer with a rock solid physique. Great at scoring in
transition and off the dribble. Also is a good defender who steals more
than his share of passes.
Strengths:
Scoring. Adams is a scorer who can hit the pull up J or take it all the
way to the rack. Also is strong enough to be an effective post up
player. Thrives in the transition game where he can use his incredible
hops to get to the rim. He is also a strong defender who is quite a
ball thief. Strong physique and hops allows him to grab a lot of boards
for a 2 guard.
Weaknesses:
Outside shot. Adams shot isn’t horrible, but it isn’t up to NBA 2 guard
standards. He is also a little short for the off guard spot in the
pros. His turnover numbers are almost equal to his amount of assists.
Has had an up and down career at Arizona, with his game really taking a
step back his junior year.
Projected 2006 Draft
Range:
Late first round – early second round
Consensus:
Adams’
athleticism and hops should allow him to thrive on a fast breaking NBA
team. His strength and good defensive skills should also help him in
the pros. While his off court problems (arrest for disturbing the
peace), lack of height and an inconsistent outside shot will hurt his
draft stock, Adams should find himself on an NBA roster come next fall.
