With the NBA regular season tip off right around the corner I thought I'd do a little preview of who some of the rising stars could be in this years league, as well as who I think the dominant teams will be.
To kick things off I'm going to give you some of my favorites for taking the NBA championship this year. Like every year the Miami Heat are the biggest contender, but Oklahoma City is right there, especially when they get Russell Westbrook healthy again. The Golden State Warriors boast a very young team that had a nice showing in the play offs last year. With the likes of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, and David Lee, the Warriors look to improve off of last years great performance.
My second dominant team is definitely the Chicago Bulls. Not only do they have the return of Derrick Rose, by far one of the best players in the league, but they have a solid supporting cast around. With guys like Joakim Noah, Carlos Boozer, and Luol Deng the Bulls don't only have to rely on Derrick Rose to carry them. I think the depth of this Chicago team could carry them very far in the NBA postseason this year.
Moving away from teams and on to players. There are always quite a few players at the beginning of any season that have a lot of hype around them. Some guys live up to that hype while others do not. I'm going to introduce a one player that I think could live up to all the early season hype surrounding him.
The first player is a rookie out of Indiana. If you said Cody Zeller you're wrong. The man I'm talking about is non other than Victor Oladipo. The reason I think he could have a breakout year is because he is a all around pure athlete. He can do everything from scoring to stealing and he will only get better with experience. Watch out for him this year as he should do very big things.
Now that I've given my predictions I'm very interested to get this season started and see who proves me wrong or right. It should be a fantastic NBA season and I can't wait to watch.
