Wemby is back with the full complement, plus two bigs in the draft.

#3

↑10

Even after losing Mitchell Robinson, they will still be difficult to beat.

#4

↑13

Jaylen Brown is gone, and the team will be better.

#5

↓3

It’s hard to say how good the Pistons really are. They will play hard, and Cade Cunningham will be good, but they don’t have enough offense to compete for a championship.

#6

Joker. Thats it.

#7

↑9

I love the new look Heat. Giannis Antetokounmpo will dominate, but their guard play may hold them back.

#8

↓4

Quietly, the Lakers have a chance to be a top-four team in the Western Conference.

#9

↑6

Not the best mix of talent to win a championship, but a lot of name guys.

#10

#11

Do we have to watch this movie again?

The Raptors were a shocker last season. Let’s see where they go from here.

#13

↓11

Can Melo get them over the hump?

#14

↑1

Based on preseason expectations, the Suns have actually been impressive.

#15

↓8

The Hawks are improving. Kuminga is happy. Again, why couldn’t Kerr find him minutes?

#16

↑1

Let’s see if Draymond can earn his Hall of Fame status this year with injuries to the team’s other great players.

#17

↑2

Paulo and the boys have to figure it out. This was supposed to be a monster year for him and the Magic.

#18

↑3

The Hornets are looking better and better. Kon and Brandon are a tough wing combo.

#19

=

Jason Kidd’s newest iteration of Frankenstein is playing well. The rest of the team sucks.

#20

↓9

A really good start helped this team tremendously.

#21

↑5

I saw the vision. Not sure what’s going on in D.C. currently.

#22

↓5

Lots of talent but no real identity.

#23

↑7

The window may have closed on this team, but with their point guard back, the group should be better.

#24

↑3

If basketball purgatory were a place.

#25

=

Zion has to go.

#26

↑1

Just maybe…

#27

↓7

Throw it all in the garage.
