Steven Adams

While out for the season due to knee surgery, Adams was traded to Houston during the 2023-24 campaign. He should be healthy coming into 2024-25, but his role on a young Rockets squad is unclear. Alperen Sengun is locked in as the starting center, a role he flourished in last season by putting up career-high numbers across the board. This would mean that, at best, Adams will serve as the primary backup, playing no more than 20 minutes off the bench. However, the Rockets also have Jock Landale, who doesn't have a high upside but has more appeal on the offensive end of the floor than Adams. During his last healthy season in Memphis, Adams finished outside the top 300 in nine-category leagues despite playing 27.0 minutes per game. Given his playing time will likely be significantly reduced, there is no reason to think he can be anything but an elite streaming option for anyone needing rebounds and efficient, yet low-volume scoring.
