Adams deserves a thread

[Huskyforlife]

Great game from him today, showed off that great potential he has.

 

[MexicoHusky]

Very well rounded player. Freshman normally struggle on D. I think he looks pretty decent.

 

[SaeHusky]

He looked phenomenal . I have much more confidence in Jalen hitting an open 3 than Omar. In the long run he will be rotating with Purvis, Gibbs, and Hamilton. Instead of just Purvis and Gibbs

 

[FluxTZ]

Was just thinking the same thing. He played really well today.

The ran a lineup today of Gibbs, Purvis, Adams, Miller and Brimah for a little bit. That has the potential to be a really strong unit for us when Hamilton needs rest or is in foul trouble.

Gibbs, Purvis and Adams is a pretty nice trifecta

 

[AfgHusky15]

He will continue to get better as the season progresses. He has a ton of talent and god gifted natural athletic abilities. The more comfortable he gets playing at a D-1 college level the better he will get at utilizing his talent.

I love the fact that he attacks and penetrates to the rim as often as he does even when he is not looking to shoot. As talented as Gibbs, and Purvis are, they too often shoot from beyond the perimeter (way beyond). The other guards Calhoun and Cassel also shoot most of their shots from beyond the arc. Our guards are too athletic and talented to consistently be shooting most of their shots from beyond the arc.

By the time March rolls around Adams will be a special player on an already very talented team making us that more dangerous when it matters most!

 

[Huskyforlife]

This backcourt can shoot. That's an understatement

 

[jibsey]

If he keeps developing like this he may get his own board. The small lineup of Purvis, Gibbs, Miller, Hamilton, and Adams toward the end has 4 guys that can develop plays , it's an assist machine. Wait, Miller can pass! Hamilton and Miller rebound great and Shonn gets the high riser as good as AB.

 

[J-dog]

Showed a sweet feathery touch! Showed some good on the defender D… great game for the kid!

I was very impressed with his passing ability. Obviously he can play off the ball but he's much more of a pure point than I anticipated. Also, a better shooter

This, knew he was a good passer but he's very good. Even makes the "regular" pass when necessary which I like and throws a great 25 foot skip bounce pass with speed. Great vision will be really special.

While the team may be loaded, it will need a steady, smart and in control contribution from JA
Next year its his team to run.

I don't think Adams needs to be in control per se, he is a 'freewheeler' able to do what he was born to do, without much pressure. Just saying I don't think they need a steady, smart, controlled Adams this year. They certainly need (and expect) that from Purvis and Gibbs. I really think Ollie will turn him loose this season giving him a loose leash. He seems to learn from his mistakes and bad play anyway. Great student.

He has liberties that Bazz and Kemba had as freshman. Just saying for this one year we will see the 'street' type baller he is, which is good and exciting. He is learning Ollie's system, and using his flair. Next year and then after its a different story and will require leadership and the things you mentioned. Hell let Gibbs and Purvis have the pressure, Adams will be frustrating opposing teams to no end this year, and will be on everyone's scouting report.

He is so fortunate to be in the position he is in. I noticed also that Briscoe is coming off the bench. Those two will be something special next year, hopefully have a couple of 'wars' between the two.
