All NBA Teams: Way too early picks for the league’s elite 15
By Ronald Moody
All NBA Third Team
Donovan Mitchell
Bam Adebayo
Anthony Edwards
Devin Booker
Anthony Davis
Donovan Mitchell
Mitchell provides Cavs fans hope they have not had since LeBron James’ second tour in the ‘Land. His pairing with Darius Garland allows him to not focus on handling the ball but just scoring. He will be named to his fourth All-Star team.
Bam Adebayo
After a steady increase in points and rebounds every season, Adebayo finally takes the reins from Jimmy Butler and leads the Heat to another division title.
Anthony Edwards
The former number-one pick makes a massive leap into one of the fifteen best players in the NBA. As the Minnesota Timberwolves twin towers of Karl Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert will get most of the publicity, Edwards will transform into one of the league’s brightest stars.
Devin Booker
Devin Booker carries the Suns into the playoffs with an aging Chris Paul slowing down and a disgruntled Deandre Ayton biding his time in Phoenix. Head coach Monty Williams’s reliance on Booker increases as the playoffs start to hit the horizon.
Anthony Davis
Yes, Anthony Davis is listed instead of LeBron James. As the season wears on, Davis will slowly grab the mantle from James as the Lakers’ best player. In the first two games of the season, he already averaged 25 points per game. His hard work during the offseason will pay off in spades as he leads the Lakers into the playoffs.
These are the elite 15 players in the league. They will lead their teams to success during the season and the playoffs.
