NBA: One x-factor for every team heading into 2022-23

Milwaukee Bucks – MarJon Beauchamp

Something has gone wrong if the Milwaukee Bucks are relying on MarJon Beauchamp this season but, at the same time, he is truly the only player on the roster that could be a potential x-factor for the team heading into this season.

That’s generally the case for a more veteran-laden team such as the Bucks.

Minnesota Timberwolves – Rudy Gobert

It was a bit of a surprise when the Minnesota Timberwolves decided to go all-in with the acquisition of Rudy Gobert but the hope is that he could be a piece that helps the Wolves enter contention in the Western Conference.

And that’s why he should be considered an x-factor for the team. He’s a player that could end up changing the ceiling for Minnesota this season.
