Oklahoma City Thunder: 3 candidates for a breakout season in 2018-19

3. Steven Adams

Steven Adams is coming off the best year of his career after averaging 13.9 points and 9.0 rebounds per game in 2017-18. The best way to capitalize on a great season like that for a big man would be to average a double-double.

For Adams, a 15-points and 10-rebounds per game season is not something that should be out of reach. He has shown the ability to score in the post and has a deadly two-man game with Russell Westbrook.

Adams shot 62.9 percent from the field last year and 69 percent of his points were assisted. The big Kiwi also has a deadly hook shot, shooting 50 percent on those looks.

Adams had a great season being the fourth option of the team last year, and that is why with the Thunder losing Carmelo Anthony this summer, he is poised to have a great season on the offensive end.

With the margin being greater than 10 points, Adams shot 61 percent. He is a good option to drop the ball down to when you need points.

With five seasons under his belt, Steven Adams is an established veteran. After years of developing his game and improving his scoring and rebounds year by year, he should be able to have a breakout season in 2018-19.
