Adams showed signs of the player he’d become late in his senior year at MacArthur, but few could have dreamed he’d go on to a long professional career as well.

As a senior at MacArthur, Adams averaged 8.3 points and 4 assists to earn third-team All-Macon County. He landed at Lincoln College, where he was an All-American as a sophomore, averaging 18 points, four assists and five rebounds. That earned him a scholarship to the University of Indianapolis, where Adams became the seventh-leading scorer in NCAA Division II. As a senior, he averaged 23.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists.

But that was only the beginning. In February 2012, Adams began his pro career with Guaiqueríes de Margarita of Venezuela. From there, Adams has played in the Dominican Republic (2012), Ukraine (2013), France (2013 and 2014), Germany (2013), Spain (2014-16) and China (2016-present), where he led his team to the league championship and earned finals MVP in 2016. He’s also played in the NBA G League, both for the Birmingham Squadron and Fort Wayne Mad Ants. He’s currently playing for the Fujian Sturgeons in China.
