If you want someone to at compare the way she relentlessly attacks the boards, think of Dennis Rodman. When a shot goes up, opponents know they better get a body on Adams because she is always crashing the boards. Her motor is second to none. She is a tireless worker who never, ever takes plays off. Is Adams the most skilled player in New Jersey? Nope. Is she the hardest worker in the Garden State? Yes.
Manchester was a top-five team this past season and its success started and ended with Adams. She averaged over 18 points and 12 rebounds per game and did all of the dirty work for the Hawks. She did the majority of her damage in the paint, serving as a banger for guard-heavy Manchester.
Don’t get it twisted. Adams can shoot, too. When left open, she made opponents pay by cashing in from deep.
Manchester went 28-4 and was one of the favorites to reach the Tournament of Champions before the season was cut short by COVID-19.
Adams had 17 double-doubles and also got it done on defense, blocking 2.5 shots per game.
As she has shown in her three years of high school ball, she can play on the wing or on the block. What position will she play in college? That is up to the University of North Carolina coaching staff to figure out as Adams recently gave a verbal commitment to Chapel Hill.
