10. Dallas Mavericks
I’m not sure what to make of the Dallas Mavericks heading into this season. They’re coming off a run to the conference finals but lost a key cog (Jalen Brunson) and didn’t really replace him. But, they do still have Luka Doncic.
And Doncic is that good. Even though the Mavs are probably going to take a step back this season, you want to tune in to watch who could end up being one of the 20 best players to ever play the game of basketball when his career is over.
9. New Orleans Pelicans
With a healthy roster, the New Orleans Pelicans should absolutely be on this list. The trio of Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram, and CJ McCollum could prove to be increasingly interesting. I’m not really sure what the ceiling is for this team (especially if they can remain healthy) but I’m absolutely willing to watch it all unfold this season.
