Draft Notes

K.J Adams Jr. is a burly, strong and explosive 6-7 big man who doesn’t have ideal NBA height but is a real difference maker on the court and will get a chance to make it at the next level.

He’s one of the more powerful and explosive athletes in college basketball and is a menace around the rim. A big time dunker and solid rebounder who is always a threat on the offensive glass.

Has shown great improvements as a scorer with good touch around the basket and the makings of a mid range game.
