Eastern Conference Showdown: Which Unexpected Team Will Rise to Dominate the NBA?
LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Kon Knueppel. Three guys who all have potential to be pretty solid. If Ball can remain healthy and shows growth from maturation and defensively, the team has potential to at least compete for a play-in spot. There isn’t a ton to like about the Hornets, and they will struggle on defense, but this is a better team than the 19 wins from last year.Â
Washington Wizards – 18-64 – 15th
I think there is some reason for excitement with the Wizards. I don’t expect them to be a Play-In team or even good enough to get to 25 wins, but some of these kids, and veterans, can play. CJ McCollum and Khris Middleton should be trade pieces for contenders near the deadline. Bilal Coulibaly and Alex Sarr could be solid. Bub Carringon showed some flashes last year as well. Think about them as competitive, but not good.Â
