Message: [QUOTE="olehead, post: 4211127, member: 4474"] I love Adama. His work ethic alone warrants a gamble/investment on his pro prospects. I also love his game, I know post/handle. I hate that his game is not a fit for today's NBA, but it's a reality. He's a bit like the Adrien or Dejuan Blair tweener mode. Harrell has the strength of these guys, well maybe not Blair, plus the athleticism to finish above the rim. That element of finishing above the rim, coupled with high motor seem to be the ingredients now and over the course of the last 10-15 years or so for tweeners such as the above to stick in the league, think Manimal Denver years primarily. I am absolutely certain Adama will improve with speed, quickness, strength and basketball ability, which includes an eventual three. I don't think that will happen within a year and he may have to initially play professionally elsewhere. I do believe at some point he makes into the league based upon his sheer force of will.
