2025 team potential ranking, the Rockets regretfully failed to enter the top three, the Spurs have been lucky for years and are greedy

In the NBA, every rebuilding team hopes to select high-potential rookies and cornerstone players, thereby accelerating their own reconstruction speed and raising the overall upper limit of the team. In the past few years, teams such as the Rockets and Magic began to rebuild almost at the same time, and now they are all playoff teams. Recently, some media have included the five most promising teams in the league in the next five years, and the following are the specific rankings.

No. 5, the timely outbreak of the Detroit Pistons Cunningham saved the team. Someone said a long time ago that as long as the 21st class player can stay healthy, he will bring the team into the playoffs like Harden and Doncic. Cunningham has done this last season, and he himself entered the All-Star with averaging 26.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 9.1 assists per game, and was finally selected for the All-American League Three Team.

In addition to Cunningham, he is surrounded by Jaylen Durham, who has become a double pair of machines. And the "555" combination (Ivy in 22nd, Osa Thompson in 23rd, Holland in 24th), which allows the team to have a bright future in the future.

No. 4, Houston Rockets

Rockets have won 52 regular season games last season, but this is not the case where veterans play a very critical role. Among the younger generation in the team, Shen Jing became the All-Star as he wished last season. After having Durant next season, his offense in the inside will be easier. A 20+10+5 average data is worth looking forward to.

, and Amen spent a season making him the Rockets' strongest shield. He was selected as the best defensive team in the league and is focusing on improving his shooting ability in the summer. Perhaps he will surpass Shin Kyung in terms of his position in the team in the future. Coupled with team players such as Jabbarri Jr. and Ethan, the Rockets' lineup structure is very stable. If Shepard and Whitmore can continue to grow, this will be crucial for the team's potential to increase. Of course, there are two of them in their hands in the first round of 2027, which may bring them great surprises.

No. 3, the Orlando Magic

The Magic are better than the Rockets in that their fourth-place record in the East is almost achieved by the team's new players. Currently, with Bancero as the core, supplemented by Wagner Jr., Sargers and other players, it has become the most powerful team in the East. Especially next year, the Pacers and Celtics have core injuries, and the Knicks also face a crisis of demolition, which is a great opportunity for the Magic.

It is not difficult to see from the Magic's trade this year that they have begun to focus on the present, and the transaction has come with the prospective star player Benn. However, giving the next five draft picks to the Grizzlies is somewhat risky for the Magic. Fortunately, there are young people like Black, Jeter Howard, and Wagner in their team.

No. 2, San Antonio Spurs

Usually people have "newcomer protection" when trying something new, that is, they can do things very well with just luck or feeling. The Spurs, which have always refused to play badly, seem to have a "novice protection period" when it comes to drawing high picks in the draft.

In 23 years, the team was lucky enough to draw the No. 1 pick and got the historical talent of Wenban Yama. As a rookie, he was selected as an All-Star player in the season. Wenban has proved his strength. And last year, they won the best rookie Cassel in the fourth pick. This year, I was lucky to draw the second draw, and the template was James Harden's double-seater Dylan Harper.

And next season, as long as Vampan Yama is healthy enough, the Spurs may begin their playoff journey. By then, the talent of the Spurs young people will be enough to cause trouble to any team.

No. 1, Oklahoma City Thunder, as the championship team, needs no more words. In addition to the three core players of Alexander, Chett and Jaylen Williams, there are currently Carson Wallace, Jaylin Williams, Topic and Sauber in the team, who are all selected rookies in recent years. The most important thing is that the Thunder will have more than a dozen draft picks in the next five years. Continuous survival of the fittest will only make their team talent stronger and stronger. Who do you think is most likely to challenge the Thunder in 5 years? Welcome to like, follow, and leave a message to discuss!
