Has to be done!!!!

Don't want none of u Aussies claiming him as yours either. Adams is gonna be a legit player in the league. Very active, working his butt off. Looks like a 12 boards a game guy when he gets more minutes. Blocks shots, sets awesome screens. Walked through a Vince Carter elbow like he didn't feel it - what's not to like??

Huge fan from day one - the guy has everything you want in a player. Puts in 100% every game and has all the physical gifts to keep improving. I like how he reacted after VC elbowed him right in the head (intentionally) today. Didn't flinch, didn't retaliate. Tough as nails - and he's got a spot in my fantasy team because he'll end up the starting centre at OKC in no time. Will be putting up regular double doubles in no time.

I have no idea why he got a tech. If anything he should've gotten a flagrant 1 for high contact (upon review) but I didnt see anything that would result in a tech, such as demonstrative behaviour, abuse, retaliation etc. I think the refs just wanted to give him something to make it seem fair since they both got an elbow in the head.

I guess it was for his high elbow - there was no doubt it was high.

If that was it then it should have been flagrant, not technical!

Fair point. Adams has no fear it seems - also pissed Nate Robinson off in the preseason with a sneaky hold....looks like he's got a healthy mean streak...

I like the big half-tongan, looks like he's got a good work ethic.

I hope it works out for OKC, aldrich, lazar hayward and PJIII didnt/aren't working out. And Kendrick doesn't impress me as much as Stevens already has. Go big man!

Thanks Harsha - all I can say is wow - the future is bright. There aren't many 7 footers who move like that. Not super hops but he is quick and has great hands

From memory, Adams was a bit of a surprise selection at 12 in the draft but what we all saw yesterday, is the reason the OKC will most likely amnesty Kendrick Perkins before next season. He's not a super athlete but has a pretty decent touch around the basket. Was following the game on ESPN yesterday and as an Aussie, I was dead-set filthy that a bloody Kiwi (no disrespect) tore my beloved Pistons and the super-hyped Andre Drummond a new one.

i havent seen much of him but looking at the pistons game, seems to have the basics down pat and should hopefully be a player for OKC, they desperately need another inside presence aside from serge, as perkins is garbage these days - definitely can feel an amnesty coming on with him... ripper bounce pass to westbrook too!

I haven't really followed the NBA since roughly 1997 and the last set I remember buying was the Fleer Metal from that year...
I'm really quite tempted to start putting together an Adams PC however....
Is there a resource somewhere that lists what cards a certain player has had produced?

Maybe via beckett.com?

Adams has had his tough days recently but put together 6 pts 7 boards and 3 blks vs the Clips yesterday in 24 minutes...
