Former CBA super foreign player, scoring champion + FMVP, no one wants to return to the league, may retire

CBA teams are still recruiting soldiers, and many teams have finalized foreign players, and only a few places are still in operation. Among them, there is news about the old CBA acquaintance Adams. According to multiple media reports, Adams posted on his personal social media that he would retire after returning to the CBA for another season. But facing Adams' olive branch, there is no explanation for his joining the CBA at the moment. There is a high probability that no CBA team will be interested in it. In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, they are all worried about the competitive state of 37-year-old Adams. Now, the recruitment of players from all teams is very pragmatic, just to use familiarity without having to be young without having to be veterans. What the team needs is foreign players who are fighting power. Therefore, Adams' desire to retire after playing in the CBA for a year has failed, and now he can only switch to overseas leagues.

Adams, a former super foreign player, was born in the United States in 1989, 1.88 meters tall and weighed 84kg. He played for the University of Indianapolis during his college years. He failed to participate in the NBA draft in 2011, and has since been in the leagues of Venezuela, Dominican, Ukraine, France and other countries. He joined the CBA Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team in 2016. In the 2017 Finals, he led the team to win the championship with 34.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals per game and was elected as the FMVP. In 2018, he became the CBA regular season scoring champion with 40.1 points per game.

Return to the United States to compete in the NBA Development League after the end of the 2020-2021 season. He returned to the CBA to join the Fujian Men's Basketball Team in 2022, transferred to Shenzhen New Century in 2023, playing 29 games, averaged 18.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.7 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 42.4%, and his three-point shooting percentage was as low as 30.5%, and his condition declined very significantly. Adams' characteristic is that he needs a lot of ball rights. He has basically made more than 20 shots per game over the years. The high shooting ratio and low shooting percentage make the team's combat power rely too much on his feel. Moreover, his "lone wolf" style of playing has made some head coaches very disgusted.

Today's CBA has entered the golden and dollar era, especially after the foreign aid policy is relaxed, the quality of foreign aids directly affects the team's record. Therefore, each club is also cautious in choosing foreign aids, especially the core foreign aids, and they must focus on scoring ability and defense, which can not only activate the offense of the entire team, but also have enough physical fitness. However, the 37-year-old Adams obviously cannot return to his previous state and cannot reach the level of a top small foreign aid. If he still cannot find a job in other leagues, he retired helplessly.
