Valerie Adams half-brother - Steven Adams (Pittsburgh) declares for NBA draft

If it makes you feel any better, he won't be a first round pick and will certainly spend a lot of time in some D-League burg. He'll be looking at a salary north of $1 million, though.

It's a weak draft. You can't learn to be tall. There are a dozen reasons like this that Adams will be a 1st round pick despite a somewhat quiet year.

The real reason he's going to the draft is Kevin Ware. He could play another year in college, develop and slightly improve his draft stock or he could destroy his ACL and never play again.

Even though I follow Pitt basketball pretty closely I never knew of the relation to Valerie. Talented family.

I was wondering if they were related when I saw him play, had no idea they were siblings.
