In a recent piece by Fred Katz of The Norman Transcript, he describes the interaction between Thunder big man, Steven Adams, and offseason newcomer, Patrick Patterson:
“Mere minutes in, Adams pulled his power forward over during a timeout... "Drop back a bit more on those screens," he advised Patterson, who was perched up against the scorer's table, how to defend pick-and-rolls. He continued, explaining how he wanted Patterson to defend when he was guarding away from ball screens.”
Us having the opportunity to witness such a moment can be so satisfying, as it provides paramount evidence of how far Adams has come during his 5-year tenure with the Thunder.
