#2 Steven Adams

There is no doubting that Steven Adams is still among the Thunder's most effective players, however, the 25-year-old has struggled to take his game to the next level over the past 12 months.

Despite nearly averaging a double-double for the 18/19 season, the Kiwi continues to underwhelm in crunch games. During the playoffs, Adams was expected to dominate the defensively weak Enes Kanter, although he could only average 11.8 points and 7.5 assists, as Kanter got the better of the matchup.

Adams is also yet to develop any sort of range from beyond the arc, and it appears that the Thunder overpaid when they handed Adams a four-year $100 million contract. With it still possible that the Thunder will be able to convince Nerlens Noel to stay for another year, Sam Presti should seriously consider moving his starting center on.
