It's a big three system. Defending champion Oklahoma City took first place, the Houston Rockets took second place, and the Denver Nuggets took third place. It's all a western team.
Seven of the top 10 teams are in the West. The West East and West could intensify.
Oklahoma, which finished first, has no special power reinforcement in the offseason. However, it is still powerful.
All the main pillars of last season's championship are in good shape. Big three are in good shape, including Shai Gilzer Alexander, the ace of all time who swept the regular league and final MVP last season, two-option Jaylen Williams and big man Chet Hommegren, who are comparable to Victor Wembleyama.
In addition, the experience of surviving to the final is intact. The role players are also solid. Young players are the main players, so they can show more advanced performance.
Oklahoma's No. 1 ranking is no surprise. It's a natural result.
The second team is Houston, which acquired Kevin Durant.
ESPN said `Houston, which was eliminated in the first round of the postseason last season, signed Kevin Durant. 3&D Dorian Finley-Smith also joined. Together with the existing Fred VanVleet, Aferen Sengun, and Amen Thompson, we formed a strong roster."
It is already emerging as a powerhouse in the West that will threaten Oklahoma's stronghold.
Third place is Denver with big man Nikola Jokic. Michael Porter Jr. left, but signed Bruce Brown, Cam Johnson, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Jonas Balenas. They're not all-star players, but they're the resources Denver needs.
Denver had an Achilles tendon that was heavily dependent on Jokic. The roster is less competitive. However, by bringing in four players, the main lineup and backup team were reinforced at the same time.
The Cleveland Cavaliers came in fourth and the New York Knicks came in fifth. These are the Eastern teams that made it to the top five.
The Minnesota Timberwolves ranked 6th, the Los Angeles Clippers ranked 7th, the Orlando Magic ranked 8th, the Golden State Warriors ranked 9th, and the Los Angeles Lakers ranked 10th.
In the case of Orlando, he perfectly reinforced the backcourt's scoring Achilles tendon by bringing in All-Star guard Desmond Bain.
