16. Minnesota Timberwolves
The Minnesota Timberwolves made the big move of acquiring Rudy Gobert from the Utah Jazz. They believed it was a move that was necessary for this team to take the next step. The question for the team this season is whether or not they were ready for such a bold move.
Either way, even if you don’t love to watch Gobert, you will tune in for Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns this season.
15. Toronto Raptors
I’m semi-intrigued by the Toronto Raptors mostly because of the continued development of Scottie Barnes. He has the potential to be a superstar and it’ll be interesting to see how his sophomore season unfolds.
If he takes a big step in his progression, there’s a chance the Raptors could be a dark horse contender in the Eastern Conference.
