For NJ.com, he has written about how projected No. 1 NBA Draft pick Cooper Flagg wasn’t born a basketball star. In fact, the nation’s top prospect was lucky to have been born at all. He covered former Seton Hall star isaiah Whitehead's harrowing escape from Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack caused Whitehead to hear missiles and bombs going off. And he has written about how an army of NBA scouts are expected this season for Rutgers' freshmen Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.\n\nIn his free time, Adam has played in the National and World Championships in Ultimate Frisbee, and has seen more rock concerts than he cares to count.\n\nHe is the author of two books and is an award-winning filmmaker.","facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/ZagsBlog/","fuzzy_match":false,"firstName":"Adam","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[],"location":"New York City","_id":"azagoria","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":""}]},"subtype":"article","first_publish_date":"2024-11-28T18:16:29.747Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":true,"clipboard":{},"publish_date":"2024-11-28T18:40:53.696Z","has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2024-11-29T16:21:59.432Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"workflow":{"status_code":1},"label":{},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"copyright":"Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.

He covered former Seton Hall star isaiah Whitehead's harrowing escape from Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack caused Whitehead to hear missiles and bombs going off. And he has written about how an army of NBA scouts are expected this season for Rutgers' freshmen Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.\n\nIn his free time, Adam has played in the National and World Championships in Ultimate Frisbee, and has seen more rock concerts than he cares to count.\n\nHe is the author of two books and is an award-winning filmmaker.","facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/ZagsBlog/","fuzzy_match":false,"firstName":"Adam","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[],"location":"New York City","_id":"azagoria","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":""}]},"subtype":"article","first_publish_date":"2024-11-25T12:55:19.789Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":true,"clipboard":{},"has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2024-11-25T12:55:39.294Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"workflow":{"status_code":1},"label":{},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"copyright":"Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.

For NJ.com, he has written about how projected No. 1 NBA Draft pick Cooper Flagg wasn’t born a basketball star. In fact, the nation’s top prospect was lucky to have been born at all. He covered former Seton Hall star isaiah Whitehead's harrowing escape from Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack caused Whitehead to hear missiles and bombs going off. And he has written about how an army of NBA scouts are expected this season for Rutgers' freshmen Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.\n\nIn his free time, Adam has played in the National and World Championships in Ultimate Frisbee, and has seen more rock concerts than he cares to count.\n\nHe is the author of two books and is an award-winning filmmaker.","facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/ZagsBlog/","fuzzy_match":false,"firstName":"Adam","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[],"location":"New York City","_id":"azagoria","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":""}]},"subtype":"article","first_publish_date":"2024-11-19T12:04:43.917Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":true,"clipboard":{},"publish_date":"2024-11-19T12:21:10.81Z","has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2024-11-19T12:27:37.497Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"workflow":{"status_code":1},"label":{},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"copyright":"Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.

He covered former Seton Hall star isaiah Whitehead's harrowing escape from Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack caused Whitehead to hear missiles and bombs going off. And he has written about how an army of NBA scouts are expected this season for Rutgers' freshmen Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.\n\nIn his free time, Adam has played in the National and World Championships in Ultimate Frisbee, and has seen more rock concerts than he cares to count.\n\nHe is the author of two books and is an award-winning filmmaker.","facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/ZagsBlog/","fuzzy_match":false,"firstName":"Adam","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[],"location":"New York City","_id":"azagoria","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":""}]},"subtype":"article","first_publish_date":"2024-11-16T03:27:10.669Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":true,"clipboard":{},"publish_date":"2024-11-16T03:52:22.313Z","has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2024-11-16T03:54:30.725Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"workflow":{"status_code":1},"label":{},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"syndication":{},"auth":{"1":"28da56cf1632303f3c3c5a981c50d2947ac7deb12d58b83aed362b6b8e8eced7"},"caption":"Duke's Cooper Flagg (2) handles the ball during NCAA college basketball exhibition game against Lincoln in Durham, N.C., Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024.

For NJ.com, he has written about how projected No. 1 NBA Draft pick Cooper Flagg wasn’t born a basketball star. In fact, the nation’s top prospect was lucky to have been born at all. He covered former Seton Hall star isaiah Whitehead's harrowing escape from Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack caused Whitehead to hear missiles and bombs going off. And he has written about how an army of NBA scouts are expected this season for Rutgers' freshmen Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.\n\nIn his free time, Adam has played in the National and World Championships in Ultimate Frisbee, and has seen more rock concerts than he cares to count.\n\nHe is the author of two books and is an award-winning filmmaker.","facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/ZagsBlog/","fuzzy_match":false,"firstName":"Adam","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[],"location":"New York City","_id":"azagoria","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":""}]},"subtype":"article","first_publish_date":"2024-11-13T03:04:01.96Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":true,"clipboard":{},"publish_date":"2024-11-13T15:51:34.212Z","has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2024-11-13T19:06:30.501Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"workflow":{"status_code":1},"label":{},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"syndication":{},"auth":{"1":"e2f1c182a8391936a5ee2e047106c35c7b0028164dc7d5138609872f5e44339b"},"caption":"New York Knicks' Jalen Brunson, left, gets past Philadelphia 76ers' Joel Embiid during the first half of an NBA basketball game, Friday, Jan. 5, 2024, in Philadelphia.

For NJ.com, he has written about how projected No. 1 NBA Draft pick Cooper Flagg wasn’t born a basketball star. In fact, the nation’s top prospect was lucky to have been born at all. He covered former Seton Hall star isaiah Whitehead's harrowing escape from Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack caused Whitehead to hear missiles and bombs going off. And he has written about how an army of NBA scouts are expected this season for Rutgers' freshmen Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.\n\nIn his free time, Adam has played in the National and World Championships in Ultimate Frisbee, and has seen more rock concerts than he cares to count.\n\nHe is the author of two books and is an award-winning filmmaker.","facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/ZagsBlog/","fuzzy_match":false,"firstName":"Adam","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[],"location":"New York City","_id":"azagoria","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":""}]},"subtype":"article","first_publish_date":"2024-11-11T14:46:57.853Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":true,"clipboard":{},"publish_date":"2024-11-11T14:50:17.225Z","has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2024-11-11T14:53:54.902Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"workflow":{"status_code":1},"label":{},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"copyright":"Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.

For NJ.com, he has written about how projected No. 1 NBA Draft pick Cooper Flagg wasn’t born a basketball star. In fact, the nation’s top prospect was lucky to have been born at all. He covered former Seton Hall star isaiah Whitehead's harrowing escape from Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack caused Whitehead to hear missiles and bombs going off. And he has written about how an army of NBA scouts are expected this season for Rutgers' freshmen Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.\n\nIn his free time, Adam has played in the National and World Championships in Ultimate Frisbee, and has seen more rock concerts than he cares to count.\n\nHe is the author of two books and is an award-winning filmmaker.","facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/ZagsBlog/","fuzzy_match":false,"firstName":"Adam","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[],"location":"New York City","_id":"azagoria","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":""}]},"subtype":"article","first_publish_date":"2024-11-09T04:27:00.979Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":true,"clipboard":{},"publish_date":"2024-11-09T04:47:46.283Z","has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2024-11-09T05:02:27.792Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"workflow":{"status_code":1},"label":{},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"syndication":{},"auth":{"1":"813ccfba2be0cee37550d055b8a6770c4b64192aef24260356838d2b2f740c11"},"caption":"Indiana Pacers' Myles Turner, left, defends against New York Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns (32) during the first half of an NBA basketball game Friday, Oct. 25, 2024, in New York.

He covered former Seton Hall star isaiah Whitehead's harrowing escape from Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack caused Whitehead to hear missiles and bombs going off. And he has written about how an army of NBA scouts are expected this season for Rutgers' freshmen Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.\n\nIn his free time, Adam has played in the National and World Championships in Ultimate Frisbee, and has seen more rock concerts than he cares to count.\n\nHe is the author of two books and is an award-winning filmmaker.","facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/ZagsBlog/","fuzzy_match":false,"firstName":"Adam","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[],"location":"New York City","_id":"azagoria","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":""}]},"subtype":"article","first_publish_date":"2024-11-09T00:24:10.925Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":true,"clipboard":{},"publish_date":"2024-11-09T00:27:01.44Z","has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2024-11-09T00:27:51.869Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"workflow":{"status_code":1},"label":{},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"copyright":"Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.

He covered former Seton Hall star isaiah Whitehead's harrowing escape from Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack caused Whitehead to hear missiles and bombs going off. And he has written about how an army of NBA scouts are expected this season for Rutgers' freshmen Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.\n\nIn his free time, Adam has played in the National and World Championships in Ultimate Frisbee, and has seen more rock concerts than he cares to count.\n\nHe is the author of two books and is an award-winning filmmaker.","facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/ZagsBlog/","fuzzy_match":false,"firstName":"Adam","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[],"location":"New York City","_id":"azagoria","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":""}]},"subtype":"article","first_publish_date":"2024-11-07T23:37:05.612Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":true,"clipboard":{},"publish_date":"2024-11-07T23:41:24.078Z","has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2024-11-07T23:42:41.4Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"workflow":{"status_code":1},"label":{},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"copyright":"cleveland.com","address":{"locality":"CLEVELAND","region":"OH"},"auth":{"1":"c2c8acd72c28013610d3182bd20d67f7b2c513c2bb451a77b95dc3f3de0c6b3c"},"caption":"Los Angeles Lakers guard Bronny James tries to steal the ball from Cleveland Cavaliers forward Georges Niang in the second half of play.

For NJ.com, he has written about how projected No. 1 NBA Draft pick Cooper Flagg wasn’t born a basketball star. In fact, the nation’s top prospect was lucky to have been born at all. He covered former Seton Hall star isaiah Whitehead's harrowing escape from Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack caused Whitehead to hear missiles and bombs going off. And he has written about how an army of NBA scouts are expected this season for Rutgers' freshmen Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.\n\nIn his free time, Adam has played in the National and World Championships in Ultimate Frisbee, and has seen more rock concerts than he cares to count.\n\nHe is the author of two books and is an award-winning filmmaker.","facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/ZagsBlog/","fuzzy_match":false,"firstName":"Adam","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[],"location":"New York City","_id":"azagoria","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":""}]},"subtype":"article","first_publish_date":"2024-11-07T13:56:29.822Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":true,"clipboard":{},"publish_date":"2024-11-07T13:57:47.81Z","has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2024-11-07T13:59:18.808Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"workflow":{"status_code":1},"label":{},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"copyright":"© Copyright 2024 The Philadelphia Inquirer","address":{"locality":"Philadelphia","region":"PA"},"syndication":{},"auth":{"1":"ad66133c4a4e448bb34b65c62ec6a8de14dc123f8988801fdfc2d8d62b8cf55f"},"caption":"Center Joel Embiid reacts after the Sixers lost their Eastern Conference playoff series to the New York Knicks on May 2, 2024.

For NJ.com, he has written about how projected No. 1 NBA Draft pick Cooper Flagg wasn’t born a basketball star. In fact, the nation’s top prospect was lucky to have been born at all. He covered former Seton Hall star isaiah Whitehead's harrowing escape from Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack caused Whitehead to hear missiles and bombs going off. And he has written about how an army of NBA scouts are expected this season for Rutgers' freshmen Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.\n\nIn his free time, Adam has played in the National and World Championships in Ultimate Frisbee, and has seen more rock concerts than he cares to count.\n\nHe is the author of two books and is an award-winning filmmaker.","facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/ZagsBlog/","fuzzy_match":false,"firstName":"Adam","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[],"location":"New York City","_id":"azagoria","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":""}]},"subtype":"article","first_publish_date":"2024-11-07T05:32:36.144Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":true,"clipboard":{},"publish_date":"2024-11-07T05:38:12.888Z","has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2024-11-07T05:41:39.236Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"workflow":{"status_code":1},"label":{},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"copyright":"Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.

He covered former Seton Hall star isaiah Whitehead's harrowing escape from Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack caused Whitehead to hear missiles and bombs going off. And he has written about how an army of NBA scouts are expected this season for Rutgers' freshmen Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.\n\nIn his free time, Adam has played in the National and World Championships in Ultimate Frisbee, and has seen more rock concerts than he cares to count.\n\nHe is the author of two books and is an award-winning filmmaker.","facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/ZagsBlog/","fuzzy_match":false,"firstName":"Adam","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[],"location":"New York City","_id":"azagoria","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":""}]},"subtype":"article","first_publish_date":"2024-11-05T13:46:59.191Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":true,"clipboard":{},"publish_date":"2024-11-05T20:23:55.853Z","has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2024-11-05T21:29:03.335Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"workflow":{"status_code":1},"label":{},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"copyright":"Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.

For NJ.com, he has written about how projected No. 1 NBA Draft pick Cooper Flagg wasn’t born a basketball star. In fact, the nation’s top prospect was lucky to have been born at all. He covered former Seton Hall star isaiah Whitehead's harrowing escape from Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack caused Whitehead to hear missiles and bombs going off. And he has written about how an army of NBA scouts are expected this season for Rutgers' freshmen Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.\n\nIn his free time, Adam has played in the National and World Championships in Ultimate Frisbee, and has seen more rock concerts than he cares to count.\n\nHe is the author of two books and is an award-winning filmmaker.","facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/ZagsBlog/","fuzzy_match":false,"firstName":"Adam","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[],"location":"New York City","_id":"azagoria","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":""}]},"subtype":"article","first_publish_date":"2024-11-04T01:34:51.056Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":true,"clipboard":{},"publish_date":"2024-11-08T21:28:40.206Z","has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2024-11-08T21:29:02.402Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"workflow":{"status_code":1},"label":{},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"copyright":"Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.

For NJ.com, he has written about how projected No. 1 NBA Draft pick Cooper Flagg wasn’t born a basketball star. In fact, the nation’s top prospect was lucky to have been born at all. He covered former Seton Hall star isaiah Whitehead's harrowing escape from Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack caused Whitehead to hear missiles and bombs going off. And he has written about how an army of NBA scouts are expected this season for Rutgers' freshmen Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.\n\nIn his free time, Adam has played in the National and World Championships in Ultimate Frisbee, and has seen more rock concerts than he cares to count.\n\nHe is the author of two books and is an award-winning filmmaker.","facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/ZagsBlog/","fuzzy_match":false,"firstName":"Adam","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[],"location":"New York City","_id":"azagoria","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":""}]},"subtype":"article","first_publish_date":"2024-10-29T13:56:45.231Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":true,"clipboard":{},"publish_date":"2024-10-29T13:56:45.231Z","has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2024-10-29T13:59:06.857Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"workflow":{"status_code":1},"label":{},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"syndication":{},"auth":{"1":"3fe4d506dda48bba5cbe4fe8c5f9b3305087680dfa7b09d8fba97c00ddb13442"},"caption":"New York Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns runs on the court during the first half of a preseason NBA basketball game against the Washington Wizards, Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2024, in New York.

For three decades, he skipped around The Star-Ledger newsroom, from sports to news to features and investigations — and even a stint on the Editorial Board. He spent two years at USA Today before returning home because Virginia traffic is even worse than New Jersey’s. He has been a beat reporter on the Giants, Jets, Yankees and Mets and the golf writer — hockey moved too fast for him — and has a drawer full of awards as a reporter and editor. He gladly accepts angry emails from Rutgers fans who believe Seton Hall gets too much coverage and from Seton Hall fans who believe Rutgers does, and from Mets fans who simply hate the Yankees. His baseball career was ended by the invention of the slider, and at this writing, he’s an 11 handicap (but it’s trending upward.) If you're wondering, \"Why is the Sports Director also writing about politics?\" it's because in addition to writing about politics while on the Editorial Board, he grew up in a political family (two mayors) and has served his community as a town council member.

For NJ.com, he has written about how projected No. 1 NBA Draft pick Cooper Flagg wasn’t born a basketball star. In fact, the nation’s top prospect was lucky to have been born at all. He covered former Seton Hall star isaiah Whitehead's harrowing escape from Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack caused Whitehead to hear missiles and bombs going off. And he has written about how an army of NBA scouts are expected this season for Rutgers' freshmen Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.\n\nIn his free time, Adam has played in the National and World Championships in Ultimate Frisbee, and has seen more rock concerts than he cares to count.\n\nHe is the author of two books and is an award-winning filmmaker.","facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/ZagsBlog/","fuzzy_match":false,"firstName":"Adam","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[],"location":"New York City","_id":"azagoria","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":""}]},"subtype":"article","first_publish_date":"2024-10-22T11:10:07.794Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":true,"clipboard":{},"publish_date":"2024-10-22T11:12:09.948Z","has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2024-10-22T11:13:32.541Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"workflow":{"status_code":1},"label":{},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"advancelocal"},"address":{},"syndication":{},"auth":{"1":"89d893890f935b9e4f03b7cbdec50b92a11f5a1f3d9b1d971a1dfebb93ba6996"},"caption":"Former Seton Hall star Jared Rhoden at the NBA Draft Combine.","source":{"system":"photo center","edit_url":"","additional_properties":{"editor":"photo center"}},"taxonomy":{"associated_tasks":[]},"type":"image","version":"0.10.9","url":"https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/advancelocal/ICKHPHEWCNGY7BPB42BT7ICCAM.jpg","licensable":false,"credits":{"affiliation":[],"by":[{"name":"NBAE | Getty Images","type":"author","byline":"NBAE | Getty Images"}]},"subtitle":"Jared Rhoden","width":4188,"_id":"ICKHPHEWCNGY7BPB42BT7ICCAM","additional_properties":{"fullSizeResizeUrl":"/resizer/7gVXYyYUAP0k49rSejTjei0xOX4=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-advancelocal/public/ICKHPHEWCNGY7BPB42BT7ICCAM.jpg","owner":"mrosenstein@njadvancemedia.com","proxyUrl":"/resizer/7gVXYyYUAP0k49rSejTjei0xOX4=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-advancelocal/public/ICKHPHEWCNGY7BPB42BT7ICCAM.jpg","originalUrl":"https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/advancelocal/ICKHPHEWCNGY7BPB42BT7ICCAM.jpg","published":true,"resizeUrl":"/resizer/7gVXYyYUAP0k49rSejTjei0xOX4=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-advancelocal/public/ICKHPHEWCNGY7BPB42BT7ICCAM.jpg","ingestionMethod":"manual","thumbnailResizeUrl":"/resizer/BvedGL7yqr-yWobCm3833B5q7MM=/300x0/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-advancelocal/public/ICKHPHEWCNGY7BPB42BT7ICCAM.jpg","version":0,"originalName":"GettyImages-1240777190.jpg","mime_type":"image/jpeg","restricted":false,"template_id":7,"galleries":[]},"created_date":"2022-05-25T19:39:31Z","last_updated_date":"2022-05-25T19:39:31Z","height":2792,"image_type":"photograph","resized_urls":{"large":"https://www.nj.com/resizer/v2/ICKHPHEWCNGY7BPB42BT7ICCAM.jpg?auth=89d893890f935b9e4f03b7cbdec50b92a11f5a1f3d9b1d971a1dfebb93ba6996&width=1280&quality=90","medium":"https://www.nj.com/resizer/v2/ICKHPHEWCNGY7BPB42BT7ICCAM.jpg?auth=89d893890f935b9e4f03b7cbdec50b92a11f5a1f3d9b1d971a1dfebb93ba6996&width=800&quality=90","small":"https://www.nj.com/resizer/v2/ICKHPHEWCNGY7BPB42BT7ICCAM.jpg?auth=89d893890f935b9e4f03b7cbdec50b92a11f5a1f3d9b1d971a1dfebb93ba6996&width=500&quality=90","x_small":"https://www.nj.com/resizer/v2/ICKHPHEWCNGY7BPB42BT7ICCAM.jpg?auth=89d893890f935b9e4f03b7cbdec50b92a11f5a1f3d9b1d971a1dfebb93ba6996&width=180&quality=90"}}},"canonical_url":"/setonhall/2024/10/former-seton-hall-star-earns-nba-two-way-contract.html","distributor":{"name":"advancelocal","category":"staff","subcategory":""},"version":"0.10.10","canonical_website":"nj","revision":{"editions":["default"],"user_id":"zagoria@hotmail.com","parent_id":"Z3GHMY5K2BAUZJAABJ6JQLYFWE","published":true,"branch":"default","revision_id":"BUTQLUDVNZGKXBQSKFEQ5XNXNE"},"planning":{"internal_note":"","story_length":{"character_encoding":"UTF-16","character_count_actual":1677,"inch_count_actual":2,"word_count_actual":291,"line_count_actual":12}},"display_date":"2024-10-22T11:10:07.794Z","headlines":{"tablet":"","print":"","meta_title":"","native":"","web":"","mobile":"","basic":"Former Seton Hall star earns NBA Two-Way Contract"},"websites":{"nj":{"website_url":"/setonhall/2024/10/former-seton-hall-star-earns-nba-two-way-contract.html","website_section":{"path":"/setonhall","parent":{"default":"/"},"_website":"nj","parent_id":"/","name":"Seton Hall","description":"Get the latest Seton Hall basketball, baseball and other University Athletics news and blogs.

For NJ.com, he has written about how projected No. 1 NBA Draft pick Cooper Flagg wasn’t born a basketball star. In fact, the nation’s top prospect was lucky to have been born at all. He covered former Seton Hall star isaiah Whitehead's harrowing escape from Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack caused Whitehead to hear missiles and bombs going off. And he has written about how an army of NBA scouts are expected this season for Rutgers' freshmen Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.\n\nIn his free time, Adam has played in the National and World Championships in Ultimate Frisbee, and has seen more rock concerts than he cares to count.\n\nHe is the author of two books and is an award-winning
