Defending champion last season. The cores are still there and experience is added. Shai Gilzer Alexander, Jaylen Williams and Chet Hommegren. Young role players became more powerful as they absorbed the Final Experience.
The Houston Rockets, who acquired Kevin Durant, are threatening. However, it is evaluated that it is less than Oklahoma City. In addition, there are variables in which the aces of the strong favorite team cannot come out due to injury next season.
Then, how about expanding it to the next three seasons, ESPN measured the NBA's future power ranking in an article titled `NBA Future Power Ranking, 3 Year Prospects for 30 Teams' on the 17th (Korea Standard Time). It predicted the success of each team for the next three seasons. No. 1 was still the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The media presented three issues. The issue was the possibility of Oklahoma's sustainable favorite, whether the San Antonio Spurs' title competition with Victor Wembanyama would be possible within three years, and what would happen to the L.A. Lakers' Luca Doncic era.
First place was Oklahoma. The media is also overwhelming in Oklahoma of the future. No. 1 is a given. Historically, how to evaluate it is important. It is the final winner, but there was no main player over the age of 27. In other words, it means the future is too bright' and has the highest efficiency of any team since the Golden State era with Kevin Durant. All three big players, including Shai Gilzer Alexander, Chet Hommegran, and Jaylon Williams, succeeded in extending contracts. It's hard to keep all the role players for the next three years, but the future is too bright'
Second place is the Houston Rockets. The media outlet said: "'Houston hired Ime Udoka and gathered some of the best young cores in the league. And Kevin Durant joined in. In other words, the future for the next three years as well as the next season is quite bright'
The New York Knicks ranked third, the Cleveland Cavaliers ranked fourth, and the Los Angeles Clippers ranked fifth.
It's unexpected to be in sixth place. The Golden State Warriors have three players over the age of 35. The future cannot be seen as bright. However, the media reported that the remaining Golden State rosters, including the big three such as Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler, are somewhat durable.
The Los Angeles Lakers came in eighth place. The media said the future of LeBron James is uncertain, but the Los Angeles Lakers are expected to actively recruit Luca Doncic. The most notable team is the San Antonio Spurs. It made it to the top 10.
