steady two-way guard with real defensive juice
Roderick Adams was a combo guard for Sacramento State who brought toughness, balance, and sneaky value beyond the box score. In the 2006-07 season, he averaged 5.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.0 steals per game, shot 46.7% from the field, and ranked third in the Big Sky in steals while piling up 59 steals, tied for 10th nationally among players appearing in fewer than 30 games. The differentiator: he defended like a pest, handled the ball, and made winning plays when the Hornets needed grit more than flash.
