Adams "(the coaches) told me to stay ready. There are opportunities to play early"

It's interesting that he was told "there ARE opportunities" -- meaning that the Grizzlies won't necessarily have to ship out a handful of wing players to get Adams on the floor.
Jordan Adams notes Vince Carter came into NBA when he was 2 or 3. Now they're teammates with #Grizzlies and sees Carter in locker room.

I looked it up because I didn't think it was true, but Jordan Adams was actually only 3 years old when Vince Carter was drafted. Gonna go work on my funeral pyre now...
Jordan Adams on weight loss "It makes me quicker, faster stronger. It helps out a lot"

It'll interesting to find out any specifics to Adams losing weight, although it could have easily been something really basic like cutting out soft drinks.
