When it comes to league pass success, its not necessarily about wanting to watch the most winningest teams. League Pass teams are the teams that no matter what the score is, there is high potential for entertainment and quality basketball plays. 

Some teams styles, despite being successful in winning basketball, just dont produce the hyped plays that others do. A lot of the time, it can come down to individual players lifting the whole team up to the League Pass level with their mercurial talents.

Lets look at some of my choices of the teams you dont want to miss when their game is live:


Denver Nuggets

Obvious choice, obviously. I am terrified to play against this team. Even with three pointers taking a few nerf darts to the groin, the Nuggets will lead the league in three pointers made and three-point percentage, purely based on just how wide open their shooters will be, because of all of their shooters. Its like the egg and the chicken both came first with this team.

Its poetic. Shooting talent promotes shooting frequency which promotes better shooting looks which equates to better shooting.

What makes this team not only a true contender, but the MVP for League Pass Potential, is what their shooters can do� Stephen Curry, obviously one of the most talented players of all time. Klay Thompson, a surgeon off the ball and terminator from three. Michael Porter Jr, a blossoming scoring star in the league, as smooth a scorer as we have when he is on. Surrounding them is a team of players who can be effective from the outside. The court looks extra wide when the Nuggets play. Its not fair. But its a TV affair I wont miss.

Orlando Magic

This team was built to shoot and score and might have the best spacing in the league. Yes, Gavin hates me, for the indirect and unintentional negative effects of my actions, but I still love him and more topically, how he has built this roster. From what I can gather, every line-up will feature at least three great three-point shooters, paired with players that complement the shooters. Not only does this equate to high scoring, frequent treys and highlight plays, but it will also bring wins. Shooting + talent (see Trae Young) is the recipe for success in modern basketball. 




 

What lineup am I most looking forward to seeing (the roster is even better looking than I remembered)? It would have to be Trae Young, Jeff Green, Tobias Harris, Lauri Markannen, Kevin Love. Make it happen, plz!

Phoenix Suns
Do I think the Suns will win more games than they lose? No. They have clearly signalled a rebuilding year, filling their roster with young talent. With a roster devoid of hierarchy, we are blessed with the opportunity to witness different young players go off for their career-best games every second night, showing they belong in the league. I hope I am there to witness THT posterise his defender, or see Luke Kennard drain seven threes, or gasp at Bol Bols unfathomable ability to cover airspace and block shots. I think they will play fast, I think they will experiment, lots of changes - and it will be like a TV series – I missed last weeks games, who is starting, now? Who has been traded?!

And even when it doesnt work (and therell be shockers), that will still be fun to watch the carnage. Like someone falling down the stairs and mildly hurting themselves.

Atlanta Hawks

I cant think Hawks without thinking of Joel Embiid, and just how much I didnt like that trade. Having gotten that out of the way, Ive loved everything Ben has done since, and I think hes more comfortable in the GM saddle currently than he has been in the past (he would have been immortalised with a statue if he had pulled off the DeRozan heist). The Hawks roster is packed with talent and exciting young players. Turner, Bagley, Hunter, Green and Reddish will be trouble for every team in the league. Their bench mob all have starter potential, too.




They just have a fun flavour, particularly Jalen Green. Is he a star scorer as soon as this season? How high is their ceiling? They are a condense/upgrade trade away from playoffs. Do they make it? Ill be watching.

Golden State Warriors

Dubs-nation! The Warriors have been fairly subdued in their movements over the first two seasons, maintaining the status quo for the most part. However, I am thrilled to announce that theyve made a big push this off-season, and with the talent they have added, they could top the list of ‘winners� from the off-season.
