1. Celtics - will pursuing personal accolades help or hurt team culture?
2. Knicks - lacking interior presence?
3. Pacers - can they keep up the pace?
4. 76ers - can they gel?
5. Magic - will they finally have spacing?
6. Cavaliers - can they solve front court roles?
7. Bucks - who else but Giannis?
8. Raptors - can RJ and Scottie surprise?
As for the Top 100... not too worried about it since team cohesion is a big element to winning that's hard to capture in these lists. Plus you can almost already fill a list just by taking the top 3 players from each team, so having even 5 players included is a luxury. I personally would have put folks like Naz Reid higher, or Al (or even Pritchard) ahead of Tobias Harris or DLo.
