Well sort of.  Adams was in position and was tracking the ball like a normal player.  He likely would have gotten it, landed and gone back up.  But while he was watching it, waiting for it to get to a point he could go get it, James had seen it and went to get it at a point Adams couldn't reach.  I don't think Adams had any idea James was even coming in for the ball.   He puts his hands up like "whoa, where did he come from".

So much happens in those couple of seconds.  He's tangled up but still seeing the court at 4:43.  Most players wouldn't be seeing everything.  At 4:44 Vital shoots.  James sees he has a lane to the rim, hops up.  At 4:45 he's in full sprint at the 3 point line and the ball is 3/4 the way to rim.  Still at 4:45 he's in the lane and he sees that Vital will miss on the right side.  At 4:46 he jumps before Adams even has a chance to launch, catches that ball above the rim and flushes it.   That's about 4 things that very few D1 players can do, and it happens in 3 seconds.  It's really astonishing and easy to miss just how many out of the ordinary abilities he flashes there.
