When the ball is in Adam’s hands, the energy on the court shifts. He’s electric with the rock, a shifty guard who slices through defenses with speed and a fearless handle. But what truly separates him is his lethal shooting ability, he’s the kind of player who can light up the scoreboard from anywhere on the floor. Whether he's pulling up from deep, creating off the dribble, or finishing through contact, Adam is a dynamic three-level scorer who keeps defenders guessing. His explosiveness off the bounce makes him a nightmare to contain, and when he locks in defensively, his scrappiness and relentless motor make him a complete two-way threat.
This season, Adam’s biggest improvement has been on the defensive end. He’s taken pride in becoming a tougher, more active defender, disrupting passing lanes, and making life miserable for opposing ball handlers. While his jumper remains his deadliest weapon, he’s locked in on tightening his ball-handling and finishing ability, understanding these two areas he knows will take his game to another level. Confidence is another key focus, ensuring that when he steps on the floor, he plays with the aggressive mindset of a leader.
As AAU season approaches, Adam is playing with the Clarksville Crossovers (NXT Puma), ready to make noise on the circuit. His goal is to dominate from beyond the arc and lead his team in all three-point shooting categories. He’s especially hyped for major Puma tournaments in Springfield (MO), Indianapolis (IN), Memphis (TN), and Orlando (FL), eager to showcase his skill set on some of the biggest stages. But beyond personal success, he’s looking to prove that he can step up and control the game against elite competition.
Next year, Adam is locked in on making an immediate impact at the varsity level as a freshman. He thrives on the feeling of seeing his shots drop, and there’s nothing better than watching the ball splash through the net. But even when they aren’t falling, he never lets frustration take over. He’s learned to block out adversity by staying locked in on the court and trusting the work he’s put in. His coaches have always preached one thing: "Keep shooting." That message fuels him. He doesn’t waver, doesn’t hesitate, but just keeps firing, knowing that the next shot is going in.
Adam’s game is tailor-made for today's style of basketball. His ability to stretch the floor with his deep range and quick release makes him a constant offensive weapon. Add in his explosiveness off the dribble and improved defensive intensity, and he brings immediate value to any program looking for a skilled shot-maker with the mentality of a competitor. As Adam continues developing his handle and finishing ability, his impact at the next level will only grow.
Expect Adam to keep elevating his game. He’s got the work ethic, the fire, and the confidence to keep rising. With each season, he’s sharpening his craft, pushing himself to become a more complete player. The potential is there for him to be a deadly offensive force at the high school level and beyond and with his dedication, there’s no doubt he’ll make sure his name stays in the conversation.
