Donovan: Steven Adams getting 'getting better and better with his awareness' on defense for the Thunder
Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams is "getting better and better" with his awareness on the defensive end, according to head coach Billy Donovan.
What It Means:
Already one of the league's premier defenders at the center position, Adams the Thunder's defensive rating was a full 3 points better with Adams on the floor than when he was off last season.
