a long, athletic glue guy who carved out value with defense and finishing
Eric Adams was a 6-foot-7 forward for Samford whose best 2017-18 production came from efficiency and activity, not volume: he averaged 10.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and shot 68% from the field that season, while the program praised his athleticism and noted his size had grown into a real factor[3][1]. He also helped Samford finish 2016-17 first in the SoCon in defensive rebounds per game and total rebounds, which matches the profile of a high-motor, board-crashing, defensive-minded wing/forward[1]. If you want a physical, versatile, low-drama frontcourt piece who can defend, rebound, and finish efficiently, Adams fits the bill; the limitation is that his game was more complementary than primary shot-creator[1][3].
