Let's just say he has POTENTIAL! Hopefully, we can develop one or two of these players where they can contribute to a good second string...

I thought Adams had a very good summer league. I watched the first game and caught highlights of the rest. While he is very raw, that is understandable. He is only 19 and played against bad competition in NZ. I thought he had great footwork and that, like height cannot be coached. I thought he got pushed around a bit by Plumlee that first game but physicality and toughness is something that Perkins can help him out with. The coaches rave about his hunger to learn the NBA game so I hope to see rapid improvement in him this year. That being said, he's not going to improve sitting on the end of the bench. He has to go to Tulsa and get 30-35 minutes a game. Hopefully he can contribute to the Thunder in 2014-15 and start the year after that.

It's going to be interesting to see if Daniel Orton gets a contract. He showed some nice athleticism and offensive skills in Orlando. But it's unlikely the Thunder will carry 4 centers and Perk and Adams are guarantees (barring a trade) so it'll be Thabeet or Orton.

Haven't had a chance to look at this situation; however, if it boils down to Thabeet or Orton, the Thunder will have to make a decision? We took our eye off Tyson Chandler, good or bad(?); Presti made a decision.
