Exploring three NBA teams with game-changing young talent that will quickly change their franchises’ fortunes for the better

In every NBA season, there are always teams that going into training camp have the intangible value of having “high potential”.

In other words, there is a sense of indefinite possibility that makes them exciting. There is a small possibility that this team will overachieve, but it will most likely perform just as badly as young teams filled with players who don’t know how to play NBA basketball are supposed to play.

But what if the team does overachieve? How exciting would that be! Teams with this mystique usually have exciting young talent, often rookie talent. The talent is expected to produce, but not necessarily immediately.

There is an slight chance of premature production, and that unlikelihood only makes that potential to awe more exciting. So which teams this season are likely to in this way grab our collective attention?

Which teams’ rookies are going to be truly game-changing, or at the least fun to entertaining to watch?
