    I play basketball all day everyday I just have not had the chance to show off my skills. People say that I belong in the NBA, and that I need to stop wasting my time around and not doing anything with my school. I am 5′10 can shoot, dribble, pass, dunk run a team and can play with any body. All I need is a chance to prove to my hometown (Americus Georgia) that I tried. They have a lot faith in me.

    Tommie Adams Jr.
    20yrs. old
    6′6 ht.
    205 lbs.
    Strengths: A breath taking athlete with terrific size for the point guard position at 6-6 … His upside is truly special … An absolutely dazzling dunker with blinding speed … Likely to be the most athletic PG in the league for years to come … A point guard in the truest sense of the word. His development in this area has been phenomenal in the past 2 years (which is apparent when you read his profile from a year and a half ago) … Knows how to run a team, and raises the level of play of his teammates … A pass-first point guard with excellent court vision … Has a rare ability to create passing lanes — finding and creating shots for teammates who do not appear to be open … A relentless defender with quick hands and length. Gets low and will lock his man down on defense and should only improve. Gives the same intensity and effort on both ends of the floor … Excellent handle on the ball, with a deadly crossover, very tough to contain one on one … A constant threat to blow by his man off the dribble … Rarely shows much emotion, very calm on and off-court demeanor, does not get rattled easily … Plays with a high level of intensity remaining level-headed … Deadly on the fast break with his passing ability and athleticism … Powerful leaper. Can get his head at rim level and has the strength to go into traffic and dunk on people … Catlike quickness and body control … Excellent finisher around the basket even after contact … Clutch player who raises his level of play against good competition and wants the ball in crunch time … Hits his foul shots at a good rate … Very team-oriented with a great attitude. Willing to learn, very coachable and still improving … Accustomed to the ‘family feeling’ with his teams (he is very close with his high school teammates, and his AAU team, coached by his brother, consisting mostly of his high school teammates). Has a close knit group surrounding him and protecting his future … Tough as nails competitor. A warrior who leaves it out on the floor every time out … A true floor general who shows a solid understanding of the game. Good decision maker. … Has very long arms and strong hands … Loves to drive and hang in the air and shoot when he’s cleared the defense … Very crafty at making shots around the basket, especially fadeways getting great height on his jumpers … Excellent rebounder due to his size, strength and tenacity …

    Strengths:

    • Physically overwhelms opponents
    • Size
    • Freakish athleticism
    • Ball-handling skills w/either hand
    • Quickness
    • Body control
    • Hesitation moves
    • Aggressive slashing mentality
    • Transition play
    • Finishing ability
    • Unselfishness
    • Proven at highest level of college basketball
    • Defensive potential
    • Versatility to guard multiple positions
    • Upside

    Weaknesses

    • Out of control drives
    • Decision making in half-court
    • Still a work in progress
