Predicting one x-factor for every team heading into the 2022-23 NBA season. 

After a chaotic offseason, the 2022-23 NBA season, which is set to begin sooner rather than later, could provide quite the theater. Especially after everything that transpired throughout the summer.

As is always the case every offseason, some teams took a step forward and others took steps back. In order to win a championship, the right formula needs to be mixed together. And a lot of that begins to be done when training camps open, which they will in about a week.

X-factors could be the story of the 2022-23 NBA season

Generally, every championship team is benefited from x-factors. Who are some players that could emerge as such for their respective teams this season?

We take a look at one possible x-factor for every team heading into the 2022-23 NBA season.
