    Adams is similar to Nurk. I think Nurk is better though.

    Nurk is the more skilled player; Adams is stronger.

    Nurk has a little more finesse and doesn’t always finish as strong as I’d like to see from a guy his size.

    definitely Adams has developed a narrower skill-set than has Nurkic, but he does a better job of staying in his lanes and playing under control. Adams has learned to optimize his physical leverage and he's developed a consistent presence in the paint on both ends of the floor

    Nurkic is far more inconsistent and doesn't use his mass as effectively. He's also been often guilty of impatience offensively, but he's improving in that area. I think Adams is at the beginning of the 'what-you-see-is-what-you-get' phase. He's established his game. On the other hand, Nurkic is better with the ball in his hands and has the higher ceiling
