NBA Power Rankings Heading Into the 2022-23 Season

NBA Power Rankings Heading into the 2022-23 Season. Biggest additions: Jabari Smith Jr. (F/C), Tari Eason (R), Sterling Brown (f), Trey Burke (G).

Houston has some talented young players, but there are also big roster holes around them.

Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt, Talen Horton-Tucker, Will Hardy are the biggest additions to the NBA.

The Utah Jazz made some big trades this summer to acquire Mitchell and Gobert. The team is rebuilding and is expected to make more trades in the future.

Keegan Murray, Malik Monk, Kevin Huerter and Mike Brown are the biggest additions to the NBA.

The Kings are looking to end their 16-year playoff drought. De'Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis and Davion Mitchell are the team's stars. The West is deeper this season and the Kings would need to win at least five more games to get into the play-in tournament.

Patrick Beverley, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Troy Brown, Lonnie Walker IV, Thomas Bryant and Darvin Ham have been added to the team.

Talen Horton-Tucker, Malik Monk, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Frank Vogel are the biggest losses.

The ranking is largely a vote of confidence in LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Russell Westbrook's future is uncertain.

The Nets return with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Ben Simmons hasn't played in over a year. The team has had some off-season turmoil. If everyone is healthy and available, the Nets are championship contenders.

Otto Porter Jr. and Gary Payton II are the biggest losses.

The reigning champions are going to be even better this year. They might rest their Big Three a bit more during the regular season. Last year they won 53 games with that trio playing just 11 minutes together. Around them is a re-tooled supporting cast: DiVincenzo, a smart, two-way shooter and JaMychal Green, the tough, bouncy backup big man. James Wiseman, Moses Moody, and Jonathan Kuminga are recent lottery picks with high ceilings.
