Is Maximo Adams a One-and-Done NBA Draft Prospect?
About this episode
Maximo Adams enters North Carolina as a highly regarded freshman, but James believes the 6'7" forward is being underrated as an NBA prospect — and could ultimately play his way into the lottery of the 2027 NBA Draft.
The former Sierra Canyon standout broke out on the EYBL circuit, earned McDonald’s All-American honors and now heads to Chapel Hill for his freshman season. On NBA Draft Junkies Live, James makes his case for Adams as a one-and-done prospect while Rafael pushes back and plays devil’s advocate. We break down Adams’ game, his NBA strengths and weaknesses, what he needs to prove as a freshman and whether playing for former NBA championship coach Michael Malone can help unlock his lottery upside.
