The Nets, he said, were happy with Adams' progress and that his lack of a true NBA position--he played power forward at Arizona after being an all-American shooting guard in high school--shouldn't hurt him because "he's just a basketball player".</div> Source
He didn't get the minutes that he needed to prove himself, but in his limited role, he played pretty good. He's an energy guy, and next season, I hope he gets more minutes.
I think Adams can become a solid bench player, who you can put into the game for defense or for scoring. He isn't a great outside shooter, but he's a good slasher and he will improve a lot in the next few years. He can become a poor man's Jefferson, only with slightly better defense.
I don't think he'll be a better defender than Jefferson. Jefferson is only one level away from being a lock down defender type, and he has the size and body for it. Adams is smaller and he's at best, Desmond Mason like. He'll always be a small forward in a tweener guards body, and it'll hurt him
