7-foot center out of New Zealand impressed a lot of scout at 2011 Adidas Nation. For those who have seen him play, tell me more?

The head coach of the New Zealand Tall Blacks Nenad Vucinic originally wanted Adams to be with the squad for their overseas training but Adams turned down the offer due to academic preparations to join a US NCAA Team as well as to attend various basketball camps.
Lately, NBA scouts and college scouts have set their sights on Adams.
Really an intriguing prospect.Sacramento Kings

Really an intriguing prospect.
Steven Adams has become the story of the adidas Nations camp.
Steven Adams / Photo: adidasSteven Adams / Photo: adidasHow good is the 7-foot center out of New Zealand? He has a real chance to be a "one-and-done" top-five pick in the 2013 draft. And if NBA scouts had been allowed to be in attendance this week at adidas Nations, the buzz around this kid would be out of control right now.
Adams has become the No. 1 international prospect out there and will be the top center prospect in college the minute he steps on the court at Pittsburgh. (Andre Drummond is considered a power forward and is also not likely to ever step foot on a college campus.)
An enormous coup for Jamie Dixon and Pitt, he's the type of talent that would instantly turn a number of solid NCAA squads into top-25 teams.
Adams has improved tremendously in the past year since I last saw him at the 2010 adidas Nations in ChicagoComment

Check out some highlights from the Adidas Camp.
Hopefully he can do well in the NCAA and possible be a role player in the NBA if not, hopefully in Europe and assist in helping the Tall Blacks in the future."No hay poder en el mundo que pueda cambiar el destino"

Adams is part Tongan as is Jabari Parker, who is another prep-star (Source: JGX). Asi Taulava is Tongan too, right?Comment

Steven Adams has performed brilliantly in the first two days of the National Prep School Invitational.
On D1 he shot 7/7 field goals and in his 2nd game he scored 20 on 9/12 shooting.
His team, Notre Dame Prep, is currently 2-0.
