    Who's The Next Up And Coming Team?

    A lot of good young teams in the NBA. Who will make that jump from the lottery to being a playoff team.

    I think Golden State will be pretty good next year if they can stay healthy. I think Washington will make a jump in the standings, but they are still probably a year or two away from being a playoff contendor. Hornets should make that jump within the next few years.

    I thought a lot of these bad teams got better through this draft.

    What do you mean by up and coming?

    You mean like OKC 2010?

    If so, none.

    Kind of like OKC, but not to the extent that they reached. I guess I'm asking, which team that has been shitty (Washington, Sacramento, New Orleans, etc.) will become a playoff team this year or the next?

    All I know is the Bobcats won't be seeing the playoffs anytime soon.

    I think Golden State is going to be really good next season, assuming they play inside out.
    Bogut, DLee on the inside with 3 deadly shooters outside Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes.

    I don't think they necessarily have to play inside out. I think health is their biggest concern. Bogut and Curry both very injury prone. GS finally got the smarts to get rid of Monta and get bigger inside. GS could have one of the best starting frontcourts in the NBA. They still need to get a big man who can come off the bench though. The perimeter scoring of Curry, Thompson, and Barnes will be tremendous.

    Pacers and Wizards.

    I dot trust the Warriors because their coach is horrible.

    Indiana has a good coach, good Homecourt, and good players.
