Darius Adams’ skill base is very intriguing. A player who stands in the 6-4/6-5 range, he has a smooth jump shot. That is the piece his game is predicated on. Adams has good balance going from finger tips to toes with a consistent release. He is developing off the bounce, able to get yo his comfort spots in the half court off two and three dribbles. He will need to continue adding strength and he is a late bloomer physically. He is also someone who continues to add something to their game each time you see them. There will be some defensive questions as he can lose engagement off ball and plays upright at times. There are a lot of translatable pieces to his game and those flashes are become much more consistent.
