The NBA is most exciting when young stars are budding across the league. The talent pool is ridiculous in the Association. Some players are just waiting to sprout into the player they have the potential to be. It is best to take this subject by division since I want to pick a breakout player for every team. The Northwest Division holds the Oklahoma City Thunder, Minnesota Timberwolves, Utah Jazz, Denver Nuggets, and Portland Trail Blazers. One of the least successful divisions in the sport, they have had zero championships in this divisions since it was forged in 2004. The drought looks like it will continue because the division does not look to have any legit contenders. The only thing that could change that is if players made strides in the off-season and have breakout seasons this year.

The NBA is most exciting when young stars are budding across the league. The talent pool is ridiculous in the Association. Some players are just waiting to sprout into the player they have the potential to be. It is best to take this subject by division since I want to pick a breakout player for every team. The Southwest Division includes the Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies, Houston Rockets, New Orleans Pelicans, and San Antonio Spurs. Currently these teams each hold some of the most impressive young players in the NBA. Stars like Ja Morant, Zion Williamson, and Luka Doncic headline the leagues youth movement all being 21 and under. To boot, the divisions holds some veteran stars from the past decade like John Wall, James Harden, and DeMar DeRozen. It is exciting for fans of all ages. All of these teams are borderline playoff or contending teams and are looking to improve. Some of that growth will come from their breakout players this year.

It finally happened. The James Harden Saga is over in Houston as the star has been shipped to the Brooklyn Nets. The situation surrounding James and the management in Houston has been tumultuous over the past few months. I have another article outlining that as well. But, most NBA fans were under the impression that Harden was not going anywhere any time soon. The Beard has two years left on his contract, the Rockets reloaded this offseason, and the organization relentlessly displayed the unlikelihood of a trade coming this season in an attempt to mend their relationship with the former MVP. Sadly, this effort was to no avail and fell apart after a demoralizing loss to the Lakers. In a post-game interview, Harden stated that his relationship with the team is unfixable. Within hours, James Harden was traded.

Some players are just waiting to sprout into the player they have the potential to be. It is best to take this subject by division since I want to pick a breakout player for every team. The Pacific Division contains the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, and Sacramento Kings. Aside from the recent success from the Warriors, this division has been overruled by the great L.A. Lakers. They even won the championship last season and are looking to repeat. The Warriors and Kings are looking to retool their respective teams for a playoff run. While the Clippers and Suns made moves over the past two seasons to bring star talent to their cities to contend for a title. Though it seems like more of the same Laker dominance, this season should provide some competitors out of this division. The one thing all of these teams could use is some breakout stars to separate themselves from the rest.

Below is the power ranking of all 30 NBA teams. Explanations are written underneath each team. This is not projection for the whole season but as of the start of the NBA season this is where the teams stand. Hopefully, this will be coming out a couple times a month as my opinion changes. 

The NBA is most exciting when young stars are budding across the league. The talent pool is ridiculous in the Association. Some players are just waiting to sprout into the player they have the potential to be. It is best to take this subject by division since I want to pick a breakout player for every team. The Southeast division teams are the Hornets, Wizards, Hawks, Magic, and Heat. Every team in this division should be better than the year prior. They all, through development or players added in free agency, have bolstered their respective rosters. Fans of these cities should be happy with the direction of their franchises. With some internal growth, playoff hopes should arise or even contention for a title.

This page will act as a hub for all of my predictions before the NBA season starts. I will be writing more about each of these awards throughout the first month of the season. MVP, Rookie of the Year, and Most improved are already up on the website. (Links to those in depth predictions are at the side on the computer and at the bottom of the page on mobile.)
