The NBA is filled with talent that has yet to be seen. Here are the teams next in line to put that talent on display.

The bottom half of the NBA is filled with immature players, bad records, and hungry fanbases who are searching for just the tiniest taste of success.

For some teams, the future seems bleak. Unproven talent and questionable coaching combined with poor front office decisions puts teams such as the Sacramento Kings, Phoenix Suns and Orlando Magic in a position that is going to take a lot more than just luck to get out of.

On the flip side of that, there are plenty of teams who have more than enough talent that, while undeveloped, shows signs of great promise.

Smart front office moves and utilizing lottery picks in recent years has teams such as the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers (although overpaying Timofey Mozgov and Luol Deng was completely unnecessary but the draft picks have been an A-plus) in great shape.

Out of all of the teams in the lower half of the league, there are some teams that show more promise than others heading forward. A plethora of young guys with unlimited ceilings and even younger coaches who are proving they are here to stay.

I ranked the top five in order of which team has the “least” bright future to which team may be destined for an NBA ring.
