Mark Adams Jr

Big Shots Spotlight! Tristian Adams (6’3 2028 Meadowbrook HS, VA) Tristian is the type of player you have to account for in so many ways. He’s a threat off the ball and scores from all levels, he can handle and create for himself and for others, he rebounds and defends the perimeter. He reads the floor so well and makes great cuts wether finding pockets in the defense for catch and shoot opportunities behind the arc or cutting to the basket where he has great hands receiving a pass and finishing in the lane or at the rim. He can score it from all areas with the jumper. A lefty with repeatable mechanics and sound footwork he’s near automatic on catch and shoot opportunities. Tristian uses his length effectively attacking off the bounce both with his rangy strides and clever footwork and his ability with floaters to score over length and in traffic. He’s slippery and rangy attacking off the bounce and finishing at the rim and fights off contact to finish. He sees the floor nicely and can create for others and he’s very good in transition both getting out ahead on the break to receive a pass and finish or leading the break. Impressive touch both finishing from various angles using the glass, sometimes finishing high off the glass over length and when using floaters. He can finish with either hand at the rim. Tristian is scrappy around the rim as a finisher and a rebounder and elevates quickly on his initial and subsequent jumps. Athletic, energy giver, plays longer than 6’3. He has the footwork and quickness to defend either guard position in space effectively. Tristian has exciting upside and is among the top players in Virginia’s 2028 class. Tristian’s Dad is former VCU and Virginia State University standout Mark Adams who currently coaches and teaches at Matoaca Middle School and coaches AAU basketball. Tristian received the leadership award for Meadowbrook’s basketball program last year for his efforts on and off the court.
