Houston Rockets Lock down Steven Adams

Standing at 6 feet 11 inches and weighing over 250 pounds, the New Zealand-born center has built a reputation in the NBA not just for his physicality and toughness, but for his unselfish play, quiet leadership, and endearing personality.

Adams earned a reputation as one of the toughest and most reliable centers in the league. He was a perfect complement to stars like Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun often doing the dirty work that doesn't appear on the stat sheet. His screens were punishing, his rebounding was relentless, and his calm demeanor provided balance to a team full of energy and star power.

Adams is one of the better rebounders in the NBA. He understands angles, uses his body to box out effectively, and has a natural feel for where the ball is going to land. He's not the kind of center who chases stats; he focuses on doing the little things right, which consistently puts him in the best spot to secure the rebound.

The Rockets lock up the soon to be 32 year old center to form one of the top big man rotations in the NBA.
