Golden State is so much fun to watch.
Makes one wonder why he developed so slowly under Dixon.

He isn't that much better now than he was at Pitt. He rebounds, plays defense and throws around his weight and is considered the dirtiest player in the NBA. He's carved a decent career, but he is far from a star or good player.
That is totally accurate. He's no further along is his development now than he was when he played for Jamie. Maybe he could be, but he is never used that way.
You guys are way underestimating Adams talent. He's 22 years old and averages 7-6-1 for one of the best teams in the league. Never going to be a star, but so much more skilled than you guys are giving him credit for.
Jamie Dixon's problems as of late are easy to view. However, using Steve Adams as your evidence is silly.
Your comparing a five year guy to a freshman. None of the Pitt/Dixon bitching would be taking place now if he'd had stayed four years. He does what his team needs ,they don't need a 20 pt scorer.What did Adams do for us? I'll give you his presence inside helped our D immensely but he did nothing offensively and we went 0-2 in the ACCT and NCAAT. The next year, we have Zanna at the 5 and he's a better COLLEGE center and we go 3-1 in tournament games.

I agree SMF.. Pitt fans acted like Adams was this great player for us.. He wasn't even a good rebounder, I looked up his rebounding stats during conference play, extremely mediocre. He could block a couple shots, he gets that.. If you look at post players for pitt in the last 15 years, he is not even on the list..What did Adams do for us?

He is considered the dirtiest player in the nba by the guys who cheap shot him with punches and elbows to the head after plays and get t's and ejections and get no retaliation from him with very little video evidence of what he does that makes him dirty...seems to me he (supposed dirtiest player in the nba) would be the one getting the t's and ejections......He isn't that much better now than he was at Pitt.

As a starter, he averages 7 points and 6 rebounds. The back up center, Kanter, plays more minutes and has higher scoring and rebounding numbers. That is an odd combination of stats.Not a good player is a bit harsh. He is very well respected by NBA analysts. He isn't a great offensive player, but he contributes a great deal defensively.

But never stops him from being so wrong.Your track record talking about Adams is atrocious.

I don't follow the NBA much, so that is a good reason that Adams would start. It still seems odd to me that Kanter plays more minutes and has better stats - including PER.Kanter is also recognized as one of the worst defending centers in the NBA.
Not limited to one subject.Your track record talking about Adams is atrocious.

Great, but answer the question. What did he do for us? We were 0-2 in tournament games and for the Robinson stat lovers, Adams's stats were pedestrian and that's being nice.
I mean. He had 13 and 11 with two blocks in his last game. That's absolutely nothing, right?
I'm not sure why you're trying to crap all over Adams, but you look like a bigger baby than usual. That's hard to do.
You're wrong, as usual.Most of that was very late after the game was decided if I remember correctly as Cleanthony Early and that other big guy abused him.
1 game, which we were blown out on, is your evidence that he was an excellent player here?
He was good defensively. That's it.

LOL--in his one and only season as a true freshman? Brilliant stuff.Makes one wonder why he developed so slowly under Dixon.
Yes. Not saying I agree that he is the dirtiest player, that's just what he was voted. We do need some nasty, though.And man, aren't those the attributes we so desperately need? Especially up front?
You've obviously made up your mind and are in a full blown hissy fit at this point. I'm not going to bother explaining things to you. Go ahead and dump on a former Pitt player.
