During my time with Bleacher Report, I've completed two writing internships and worked as a Featured Columnist with the college football, NCAA Basketball, Tennis and—most notably—NBA teams.

As you can probably tell, my focus now lies squarely within the NBA world. I'm also working as a Feedback Editor for the writing development program.

I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Georgia with a triple major in Classical Culture, Latin and Psychology and was given the Classics Prize, awarded annually to the department's top graduating student. During that chapter of my life, I was named the NBA's top writer of the month multiple times, was selected to the inaugural class of the Internship Hall of Fame and was named the site's Featured Columnist of the Month.

After graduating, I moved from Athens to Denver, where I currently reside.

My expertise within the game of basketball lies in three areas: prospect evaluation, the sport's history and the statistical aspects of the sport. I've developed several metrics during my time with Bleacher Report and plan to continue doing so.

I've followed sports my entire life, so whether it's basketball or some other sport, never hesitate to hit me with a question, comment or discussion topic.

    I got a question. What does this say about the difference between the western conference and the eastern conference:
    - In the last 3 years, the Heat are 9-0 in series in the eastern conference
    - In the last 3 years, the Heat (could) go 1-2 in series in the western conference

    How much better is the west than the east?

    On a second thought, after looking it over again, I think you were right. My apologies, and I'll change it back in the article.

    Hi Adam,
    I wasn't exactly sure how to handle the shooting numbers, but here's the part of the Style Guide I was trying to follow: "Note that multiple numerical statistics presented in the course of a regular sentence do NOT constitute a "stat line," and thus should be spelled out (numbers zero through nine) or presented in digits (numbers 10 and above) according to B/R's default rules for numerical presentation." To be honest, I couldn't care less about that part of the guide (I actually prefer the way you did it originally), but I was just editing it according to that rule.

    Hello Adam! I have a question for you regarding the value of rebounds.

    I remember you did an article finding an exact value for assists which equal on average about 2.22 points when factoring in assists. And an average turnover is worth 1 for the other team.

    I was wondering if you had an exact value for rebounds? Are offensive and defensive rebounds worth the same? Usually offensive rebounds are more vital and are more rare, but do they still hold the same net worth?

    But he always impacts the game.

    Even after Game 1, does Ginobili crack your top 50?

  • Small Fundamental posted 12 days ago

    Small Fundamental

    Hey Adam , why wasn't Ginobili in your Top 50 list?

    He may not score consistently, but he's always contributing in other areas.
