In this offseason, many strong teams have completed reinforcement. They have made their lineup better through signings and trading. Therefore, the US media has also ranked the starting strength of 30 teams in the new season. Here we will mainly talk about the top ten, and the 11-20 are: Timberwolves, Hawks, Spurs, 76ers, Pistons, Pacers, Celtics, Mavericks, Heat and Raptors. The 21-30th place is: Suns, Bucks, Kings, Trail Blazers, Hornets, Pelicans, Bulls, Wizards, Jazz and Nets. The 10th Lakers
The Lakers' starters are: Doncic, Reeves, James, Hachimura and Ayton. Except for James, the other four are around 27 years old and at their peak. Doncic and James are among the top ten levels in the active league. Reeves is the top three leader. When defense is a shortcoming, Hachimura is a very outstanding blue-collar puzzle, Ayton is the No. 1 pick and top talent, but his ability to fight tough battles has never been proven. The height they can reach in the new season depends on chemistry. The starting points of the ninth Grizzlies are: Morant, Pope, Wells, Jalen Jackson and Zhou Zhihao. Morant's star-level point guard, top athletic ability, Pop used to have two championships and 3D, but now that Pop wins the big contract, it seems that he is not working hard anymore. Wells suffered a serious injury last season and has a very tough rookie. Jaren Jackson has won DPOY, and Zhou Zhihao has excellent offensive skills at low posts, but it is too slow. It is up to be discussed that they are ahead of the Lakers.
Eighth Knicks
The Knicks' starting lineup is: Brunson, Hart, Bridges, Anunobi and Towns. They are only ranked eighth. It is estimated that many fans are very interested in the top seven. You should know that the Knicks' starting lineup is also a top-level existence in the entire league. Brunson, who is currently in the top five levels, Towns is the top second in charge, Hart, Bridges and Anunobi are all top blue-collar workers, and the two behind them are even more of the level of stars. The starters of the
The Seventh Magic
The Magic are: Sargers, Bain, Wagner Jr., Banchero and Wendel Carter. They shouldn't be ahead of the Knicks, right? The talent of this team is indeed very outstanding, and the five starting players are also very young. Sages has been selected for the best defensive team, Watts, Bain and Bancero have already reached the All-Star level, and Wendel Carter is a very promising blue-collar center, and the future ceiling is worth looking forward to. The starting points of the 6th Warriors are: Curry, Melton, Butler, Zhu Meng and Horford. Melton and Horford have not yet confirmed to join, but the two sides have reached a verbal agreement. In this case, we can regard this lineup as the Warriors' starter in the new season. The three cores are still there. Curry and Butler's combination is still one of the strongest duo teams in the league. The rest of Horford and Zhu Meng are both the All-Star inside players in the past. Melton is great in defense and handling the ball, and all five can handle the ball.
The fifth Clippers
The Clippers' starters are: Harden, Bill, Leonard, Collins, and Zubac. The Clippers have the starters of the three giants. Although Harden and Leonard seem to have no peak, to be honest, they still have the level of All-Stars. Bill will return to the level of the star in the new season. Zubac and Collins, two inside players who are at the peak and have the level of the star, also bring an extremely high upper limit to the Clippers. The starters of the fourth Rockets are: Van Jordan, Amen, Durant, Jabbarry Smith and Shin Kyung. The starting talent of this team may be the strongest on the entire list. Amen and Shin Kyung are both young talents. If Jabbarry Smith had not sacrificed his data for the team, he would have been more recognized. Although Durant has lost his peak, he is still one of the strongest singles players in the league. Van Jordan is still the backcourt at the All-Star level, and they also have three All-Star starters. The starting lineup of the third Cavaliers is: Garland, Mitchell, Struce, Mobley and Allen. This set of starting lineup has four peak All-Star players. The Cavaliers' paper strength is indeed strong, but if they are strong teams, many fans will probably be dissatisfied. It is indeed really amazing in the regular season, but their deformed lineup is easy to be targeted in the playoffs. It is okay to play against weak teams. Facing strong teams, the Cavaliers can't beat them at all.
The second Nuggets
The Nuggets operated very successfully this offseason. Their starters are: Murray, Braun, Cameron Johnson, Aaron Gordon and Jokic. The starting players only replaced Porter Jr. with Kayo. It seems that the Nuggets' strength has not been greatly improved? Compared to Porter Jr., Cameron Johnson is both top-notch in shooting, but has better defense. The reason why the Nuggets starter is ranked in this position is more because of the league's number one player Jokic.
The first Thunder
The Thunder's starters are: Alexander, Jewish, Dortmund, Chett and Harten. They retained their core lineups during the offseason. What can be expected in the new season is that their core will all rise. After all, they have experienced the baptism of the finals. The most terrifying thing is that the three cores have not really reached their peak, and they have already won the championship. It is a wise choice to renew the three cores in the offseason. Having said that, what do you want to say about these 10 starting lineups? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
