Adams talks his game + what he’s looking for in a school
In a previous interview with Rivals, Maximo Adams discussed his game.
“I can rebound and guard multiple positions. I have good footwork down on the post, I can run the point, I would say that I’m versatile. I like to watch a lot of old school players, guys like Michael Jordan, Kobe (Bryant), and Hakeem Olajuwon, all of them, you know, and take pieces from their games.”
Adams knows what he wants in a future college program.
“I’m looking for a brotherhood. I want to go to a school where I trust the coach and have a good relationship with the coach. A school where I can just play and feel comfortable. I can fit into any type of playstyle, so I won’t be looking as much at a style. I will look at their plan for me.”
