If you are trading on the NBA stock market, you better have bought low on the Thunder's Steven Adams.
It may be because of his stellar performances in the playoffs in 2016, or because of his eye-popping preseason numbers of 14.7 ppg, 7.0 rpg, 1.3 bpg, 1.0 spg. But the NBA and media pundits league-wide have taken notice.
Steven Adams is good.
In several preseason polls, Adams ranks in the top 10 of centers and is regularly ranked ahead of established big men like Pau Gasol, Andrew Bogut, Nikola Vucevic, Brooke Lopez and former teammate Serge Ibaka.
