"The Warrior basketball program got a whole lot better when Adam joined us," said Pfeifer. "He brings us a front line player that can score inside and outside. He has very good ball handling and passing skills, which, in itself, makes him a versatile player, and one that will be hard for other teams to match up against. He has very good moves next to the basket, and can step out and shoot the 3-point shot. Everywhere he has been, he has shown proven rebounding ability to go with someone that really can get up and down the floor. As a sophomore, he scored 11 points and grabbed 12 rebounds at South Carolina, that is pretty good at any level. On top of all that, Adam earned a 3.50 GPA, last fall, at Gonzaga, so he has proved himself in the classroom."
