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

Philadelphia 76ers – PJ Tucker

The Philadelphia 76ers made noise this offseason by snagging PJ Tucker away from the Miami Heat. The hope is that he can be the final piece for a team that is on the verge of contention in the Eastern Conference.

Tucker, without question, will be an x-factor for the Sixers heading into this season. The big question is, will he be enough to put them over the top?

Phoenix Suns – Cameron Johnson

After a disappointing end to last season, the Phoenix Suns will be scrambling to get back into contention in the Western Conference. It won’t be as easy with many other teams making improvements to their roster.

One x-factor for the Suns this season is Cameron Johnson. He could be ready for a bigger role this year.
