With training camps fully underway for all 30 NBA teams, optimism is high around virtually every organization. Having spent the long offseason restocking their respective rosters with rookies, free agents, and veterans, teams now have a few weeks to get on the same page and prepare for the grueling 82-game regular season.

Some teams have incredibly lofty expectations, while other teams know they won’t be getting anywhere close to a championship during the 2022-23 season.

It’s tough to gauge which teams will be in the championship mix before any games have been played, but something we can predict is which teams will be better in 2022-23 than they were last season. No such list would be complete without the Atlanta Hawks, who came in at No. 5 on my list after making several win-now moves during the offseason.
