Adams has grown from a rookie spot starter into a player Arizona can put in the lineup at either guard spot. That is valuable, but the arrival of Bisontis makes 2026 a real competition. The good news is that Adams has already handled 17 games and 11 starts; now he must make the job his.
Strengths: Versatility across both guard spots, full-season availability in 2025 and 16 starts by the end of year two. He brings a tough, experienced college background and useful lineup flexibility.
Weaknesses: The starting role is not secure after an uneven 2025 rotation and the addition of a high draft pick. He must improve consistency and assertiveness to avoid being relegated to swing-guard duty.
