Not in looks, but in game. a lanky 6-8 SG who has a beautiful mid range game and can shoot over smaller 2Gs,+ he can rebound and pass. Very very smooth, very fluid player. Ive been watching for 2 Gs and I think that Adam is a lottery pick for sure. Very intruiging player, not a defensive stallworth, but a long player who is highly skilled , can really shoot and is always in motion with very good quickness

there on TV now if you want to check him out.
RIP Crushalot😞

I don't know, he is such a hunchback and he isn't nearly as quick as Rip and lord knows Rip moves perpetually without the ball.
We could be the Dallas Mavs of the East.

from nbadraft.net:
Strengths: Old school right down to the stripes on the socks ... Like a coach on the floor ... The game comes so easy to him ... A great player in the half court ... Can create offense for himself or others ... Really excels with the ball in his hands at the top of the key ... Very good scorer with complete offensive repertoire ... Effortless shooting stroke ... Has great anticipation and basketball understanding ... Great intangibles, competes and inspires others to play hard ... Hard worker ... Plays with great intensity and aggressiveness ... Fundamentally solid, does all the little things to help his team win ... A true competitor. Will not back down from anyone ... Wants to take the big shot ... Sees the floor well, and is creative finding teammates for baskets ... Catches and shoots, or can shoot on the move ... Runs decent, but needs a head of steam ...

Weaknesses: Not especially gifted athletically ... Stiff legs, has the legs of a 40 year old ... When he runs the floor he lacks great speed and fluidity ... Better hand speed than foot speed ... His lack of foot speed makes getting around opponents difficult ... Does not get off the floor quickly or much elevation ... Plays hard on defense but lacks great lateral quickness ... Lack of a great first step will make it harder to get shots off against superior athletes ...

He is a three, not a two. He's a point forward though, nice depth player... reminds me of Luke Walton with more offensive game. He might struggle with big time athletes at the next level.

He plays very similar to how Mike Miller played at Florida.....

Looked more like a big SG to me. Thats where I would use him. If that kid comes out he's sure fire lottery. I take into consideration what is perceived as slow, and I didnt see a slow player out there. I saw a guy who was in constant motion, who had a real nice mid range game and could get up on the boards. I don't know if the Knicks would be interested in this type of player, but it wouldnt be a bad choice since we dont have a sG.

Mike Miller is a more explosive athlete. This kid may have a better fundamental game.
