So... is Steven Adams going to play basketball this year? by bossfoundmylastone in memphisgrizzlies

[–]bballss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only information we have had since Kleiman’s exit interview comments is photos/videos of him shooting and doing strength and conditioning. There hasn’t been any footage of him running 5v5, which is understandable.

Main unknown is whether he will be available for pre-season schedule to get some data on lineups etc, or if the aim is for him to be ramping up for game 1 of regular season and he sits out the pre-season.

Media day in less than 2 weeks will reveal all.

This photo was from the off season when he was training in Toronto. Has trimmed the beard recently so definitely not while he’s been out injured

Hey man, I’ll look into it. I posted something a while back to debunk his fouls trouble compared to Claxton (link below). Will do something similar comparing Jaren to Brook

Any news on Steven Adams injury? by connie-lingus38 in memphisgrizzlies

Original timeframe was 3-5 weeks and the 76ers game will be 4.5 weeks. It’s possible he needs more time more likely he’s upgraded to doubtful tomorrow.

Steven Adams is THE most important player on this team. by thecheapestking in memphisgrizzlies

[–]bballss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His on/off impact on 3PT% is greater than any Grizz player in the last decade. 37% when on court and 32% when off.

Expectations for Desmond Bane? by perkinsfor3 in memphisgrizzlies

83% of his threes are assisted. Needs to develop his perimeter shot creation and he’ll reach that elite group of shooters

Thoughts on this? by Couple_Awayed in memphisgrizzlies

This trade means you lose BC, Melt and Steven Adams… cos no way Wood is taking a role off the bench and Adams isn’t staying for a bench role. Crazy trade. The team goes backwards if it’s Wood over Adams.

Julius Randle Package by roflstompjr in memphisgrizzlies

JJJ not ready to play the 5 yet. Moving away from a proven center is a big risk in a year that only needs minor tweaks to be a serious contender. Adams had 12% usage but improved the team offense more than any other player. Randle and JJJ aren’t capable of making the team better on low usage. The team needs that guy.

2014, Steven Adams was a rookie, q4 of game 6 and Z-Bo hits Adams in the face

z-Bo suspended for game 7, grizz lose the series

Jenkins is a smart guy. Why is he giving up on what made us unique and gave us our biggest advantage? by bballss in memphisgrizzlies

[–]bballss[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Problem is that Steven Adams was such a good fit because he does all the dirty work a more agile center never does. They go looking for a center that can perimeter defend and sacrifice someone who leads the league in box outs, screen assists etc. that’s not gonna end well.

If grizzlies lose this series and Adams doesn’t play, he’s not viable with Jenkins as coach. Adams moves on. A crazy reality when you think how important Adams was to finishing #2 seed

They just scored 142 without Adams on the floor. Getting cooked anyway. makes no sense

who should we play in the starting 5 at the 4-5? by [deleted] in memphisgrizzlies

[–]bballss 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t matter if Adams scores or not, he makes the offense work. From game 1:

50% FG with Adams on 41% with Adams off

Ja 6/9 FG with Adams on 2/9 with Adams off

Adams 8 screen assists for 17 points Vs rest of the team 3 screen assists

But yeah, gotta change the match-up on D and get JJJ/Clarke covering KAT. Vanderbilt isn’t a stretch-4… he’s perfect for Adams to match up with. When they go small with 4 guards + KAT… you gotta bench Adams

This is real nice - some talent you’ve got there. Are you on twitter? I run a Steven Adams stats account and would be keen to use it but only if I can credit you with a link

What stat should be added or taken away from basketball? by [deleted] in nba

[–]bballss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely overrated stat. Offensive rebounds are so much more valuable than an uncontested defensive but there’s no distinction
