Steven Adams- Another rookie on this list is seven-footer Steven Adams. Adams averaged 3.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in 14.8 minutes last season. Adams will likely start from day one as he is a much better option than Kendrick Perkins. Adams can be a 10 points and 7 rebounds guy if given about 25 minutes, which is certainly an upgrade over Perkins.
