1. Golden State Warriors
Now that Kay Thompson is back and healthy, there’s no question that the Golden State Warriors have emerged as one of the most intriguing stories in the NBA this season. They have the best record in the league and are adding one of the best shooters in NBA history.
The key for the Warriors will be integrating Thompson back into the rotation in a way where it won’t impact the team’s cohesion. That’s probably going to be said easier said than done, but if they can properly do that and if he’s at least 80 percent of his former self, the Warriors are going to be supremely dangerous.
The Warriors might be the best team in the league. And, at least for right now, they should be the overwhelming favorites to win the 2022 NBA Championship.
