Steven Adams is twenty three years old. Hell, during his national coming out campaign in the Western Conference Semi-Finals and Finals he was just twenty two. That’s terrifying as an isolated fact.
Contextually, it’s even scarier. Cameron Payne is 22. Alex Abrines and Semaj Christon are 23. Mitch McGary is 24. Point being; Adams ceiling and potential are frightening. Considering he wasn’t introduced to Basketball growing up in New Zealand until being noticed as a six foot five 14-year old, he’s only scratching the surface of what lies within.
