We have a newcomer at the top and a high-rising young core cracking the top three. Where did your favorite team land?
The Future Power Rankings are ESPN's projection of the on-court success expected for each team over the next three seasons: 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26.
Consider this a convenient way to see the direction in which your favorite team is headed. To determine the Future Power Rankings, we asked ESPN analysts Kevin Pelton, Bobby Marks, Andre Snellings and Tim Bontemps to rate teams in five categories and rank them relative to the rest of the league. Since the last version of the Future Power Rankings dropped at the start of last season, we've seen the Denver Nuggets claim their first NBA title. But was that enough to vault them to the top of our rankings? And what about the Utah Jazz, who were in the cellar last year but had a surprisingly strong start to their rebuild?
An explanation of each category and a full view of how each team did in each category is at the bottom of the rankings. Each team also received an overall Future Power Rating of 0 to 100, based on how well we expect it to perform over the next three seasons. Here are our latest rankings.Despite ranking in the top three seven times in FPR, including No. 3 a year ago, this is the first time the Celtics have reached the top spot in the 14-year history of the exercise.
At the same time, we looked at many other factors such as management, ownership, coaching, a team's spending habits, its cap situation, the reputation of the city and the franchise and what kind of draft picks we expect the team to have in the future.
