Adams could make a run at the Thunder's starting center position, the Oklahoman reports.

Analysis:

With the injury to Kendrick Perkins, Adams should have a huge opportunity in front of him, as he'll most likely take the bulk of the reps as the starting center during training camp. Adams is only going into the second season of his career, so Perkins still has the veteran edge over him, but with Adams showing a lot of promise last year, he could prove himself to be the Thunder's center of the future. He has a much higher ceiling than the declining Perkins, so we'll see what coach Scott Brooks does once Perkins returns.
