I'll start by saying this year is wide open. Probably more teams with a legitimate shot than any season in the past 5 years or so.
But I like Arizona to go all the way this year. They are the most complete team top to bottom. Markkanen is a stud lottery pick with a game that reminds me of a young Nowitzki. Getting Allonzo Trier back is huge. The one thing they were missing was some scoring punch in their back court. A guy they could go to who can create his own shot at will. Trier is that guy. Kobi Simmons is a hell of a player who gets better every game. Alkins is an athletic wing who plays well at both ends. Kadeem Allen gives them a much needed veteran presence. Jackson-Cartwright is a reliable backup point guard. Chance Comanche is coming along nicely.
Like I said, there are a bunch of teams with a shot this year. Arizona is the one team that stands out to me. They really just don't have any glaring holes.
Curious to see who everyone likes at this point in the season. Post your thoughts here.
