Steven Adams is developing a reputation for toughness.
For the third consecutive year, NBA.com’s annual GM Survey found Adams to be the toughest player in the NBA according to general managers. Adams received 32 percent of the vote from participating general managers, beating Golden State’s Draymond Green (18 percent).
According to NBA.com, percentages are based “on the pool of respondents to that particular question, rather than all 30 GMs.” Check out the entire survey here.
The top two “most surprising moves of the offseason” were both Thunder related – Paul George going to the Clippers (52 percent of votes) and the Chris Paul/Russell Westbrook trade (28).
