Jordan LaVell Adams (born July 8, 1994) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the UCLA Bruins. He was the first UCLA freshman to score 20 or more points in his first four games, and was an all-conference first-team selection in the Pac-12 Conference in his sophomore year. After deciding to forego his remaining college eligibility and enter the 2014 NBA draft, Adams was selected by Memphis in the first round with the 22nd overall pick.
Adams was born in Atlanta to John Adams, a high school nutrition manager, and Sabrina Robinson Johnson, a dental hygienist. His parents never married but remained friends. When Adams was in the fourth grade and his life began to revolve around American football and basketball, he moved from his mother's house to his father's. One of Adams' coaches was usually his father from when he was six until he was 16.
Adams attended high school at Oak Hill Academy in Virginia, where he was the ninth player in their basketball program's rich history to score 1,000 career points.
Considered a four-star recruit by ESPN.com, Adams was listed as the No. 9 small forward and the No. 41 player in the nation in 2012.
He also played Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) basketball with the Atlanta Celtics. Shortly after Celtics' coach Korey McCray became an assistant coach at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Adams accepted an athletic scholarship to play for the UCLA Bruins.
