5. Steven Adams

Is top 5 a stretch? Probably. But Adams performance in this year’s playoffs solidified himself in Oklahoma City lore for years.

Still can't get over Steven Adams dunk on Draymond... @PerSources14 https://t.co/z4XwzxCqIy

It truly is one of the best moments in Thunder history. After all the dirty hits Draymond delivered, Adams returned the favor AND PROCEEDED TO WALK AWAY WITHOUT TALKING TRASH. He exemplifies everything the Thunder believe in; playing basketball and not getting caught in the moment.

Adams is only 22 and has barely scratched the surface of his potential. His athleticism and energy is going to make him one of the premiere defenders in the league, and his offensive game will only grow while practicing with Stache Bro Enes Kanter.

Pundits are already calling him a top-5 center in the league; we’ll see how far he can climb the NBA center ladder.
