Despite falling seven points short of a win against Mandurah Magic over the weekend, dropping from fourth to sixth position on the ladder, Adams has no doubt Willetton has what it takes to become this year’s premiers.

Leaving his home in Seattle, Washington to play for the Tigers, the 25-year-old athlete told the Canning Times the SBL team was in good spirits.
