When the Thunder drafted center Steven Adams out of Pitt with the 12th overall selection in the 2013 draft, it was fair to assume that the native New Zealander would make his mark in the NBA as a defensive-minded big man.

After a rookie year in which Adams played in 81 games but averaged just 3.3 points on 2.3 shots per contest but posted a block rate of 3.9 percent, the assumption seemed to have played out into reality.

But Year Two brought 67 starts and a scoring average into double digits. And in every year since then, Adams’ scoring has increased. His career field goal percentage of 58.2 includes two seasons north of 60 percent, and even with Paul George and Carmelo Anthony in the fold in 2017-18, his scoring average continues to climb.

Adams signed a contract extension prior to the 2016-17 season and appears to be cemented as a key member of the Thunder roster moving forward. Don’t be surprised to see him continue his ascent up this list.
