(13) Steven Adams (C, Oklahoma City Thunder)

Steven Adams’s play style should be a great fit next to OKC’s new “Big 3”.

Adams provides intensity on the defensive end and on the glass.

With the number of shots most of us are expecting to come from the combination of Russell Westbrook, Paul George and Carmelo Anthony, a defensive and rebounding specialist such as Adams should fit right in.

Adams quietly averaged career highs in points, rebounds and steals last season. Despite teh addition of Melo and PG13, I wouldn’t expect his numbers to dip.
