Steven Adams, Oklahoma City Thunder

Steven Adams is the lone asset the Thunder kept from dealing its Sixth Man of the Year James Harden. Adams has caught much flak over the years but the New Zealand-born center has begun to develop.

During the series against the Spurs, Adams averaged 11 points, 11.8 rebounds, and a block.

Adams controlled the paint and helped limit the success of San Antonio’s interior players after LaMarcus Aldridge torched the Thunder to start the series.
