TIER 6 · #193 OVERALLDepth piece — #37 among centers

Steven Adams is ranked #37 among 58 eligible NBA centers. He profiles as a bench or matchup-based option — draft late or stream when the schedule lines up. His final five games came in 1.3 points per game below his average. His minutes held steady (25.4/game vs 22.8 on the season), so the drop appears related to lower per-minute production rather than reduced playing time.

#198Projected rank

139.9ADP (ESPN drafts)

We rank him #198 versus an ADP of 139.9 — the market drafts him 151 spots later than we rank him. Strong value if he's still there. Projection drivers: growing workload (25.4 minutes/gm late vs 22.8 season), a late-season decline in per-minute production.
