When we observe a team in the NBA, we cannot only look at their current strength, but also their future potential. Many teams are lukewarm now. When the young core grows up, they will probably be a strong team in the league. Speaking of this, the US media FW recently selected the 10 best young core teams and ranked them based on their potential. Let’s take a look at whether this list is reasonable? The young core of the Eagles are 26-year-old Trae Young and Alexander Walker, 23-year-old Jaylen Johnson, 22-year-old Daniels and 20-year-old Rissache. In fact, there is also a No. 23rd show Newell this year, which has great potential. This team may end up being Johnson, Daniels and Rissache, because the Hawks did not renew their contract with Trae Young this summer. It is estimated that if the record is not good in the new season, they will give up blowing Young. The Grizzlies before the Grizzlies may be the most promising young talent in the league, but it has been questioned for many years to fail to achieve good results. The core of the Grizzlies are Morant, 26, Aldama, 24, and Pippen, and Jaren Jackson, 25. There are really many young players in this team, but the team is reluctant to spend money, and after developing talent, Bain is also sent away. Bain is a good example. Although the Timberwolves are young and have few core cores, they are definitely underestimated only in this position. After all, they have made it to the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years. Edwards and McDan are both 24 years old, Reed and Shannon are 25 years old, Dillingham is 20 years old, and Belange is 18 years old. As long as the Timberwolves maintain their core lineup, even if Gobert and Randall leave the team in the future, they will still be very strong. Huazi is already at the level of a league superstar. The young cores of the 7th Cavaliers are: Garland 25, Mobley 24, and 27-year-old Hunter and Allen. To be honest, if the Cavaliers still do not meet expectations next season, it is estimated that Allen and Garland may leave the team. Mobley is the real core of this team, and the future ceiling is worth looking forward to. Hunter has proved his scoring ability and believes that he will stay in the Cavaliers for a long time in the future. Hunter is now a top blue-collar worker.

The sixth Pistons are only ranked in this position. To be honest, many fans may feel that they are low. 23-year-old Cunningham and Ivey are the answer to the Pistons' future backcourt, 22-year-old Olsa Thompson and 20-year-old Holland, this is the answer to the Pistons' forward line, and 21-year-old Warcraft Durham, this is the answer to the Pistons' inside line. As long as this lineup can be retained, it is very promising that the Pistons will regain their dominance in the early 21st century.

Fifth Lakers

The Lakers are probably surprised that many fans are on the list. After all, in their impression, the Lakers are a very old team. The core of the Lakers are 26-year-old Doncic, 27-year-old Ayton, Kori and Hachimura. Yes, you read that right, Hachimura is only 27 years old. The reason why the Lakers don’t want to renew James is that I think they may want to renew Kori and Hachimura in the future. After all, both of them are good puzzles and they should have a peak level in the next five years. The Rockets are only fourth in the fourth place. It is estimated that many fans are already very interested in the top three, including the Rockets 22-year-old Amen and Jabbarri Smith, 21-year-old Shepard, 23-year-old Shin Kyung and 24-year-old Ethan. This is still losing Jaylen Green, otherwise they would have more talent if Shepard could reach the expected level. The Rockets rely solely on the players they choose, and they will have the opportunity to dominate the West in the future. Amen's ceiling is worth looking forward to.

The Third Magic

The young core players such as Magic have begun to realize their talents. The 22-year-old No. 1 pick, Banchero, 23-year-old Xiao Wa, and 24-year-old Sages, these three are the core of Magic. Xiao Wa already has the potential to be an All-Star, and Sages has been selected into the best defense lineup and the top gate. Bain, 27, is an active top scorer, and the team also has high picks such as Carter Jr. and Anthony Black. The Magic now has good combat power.

Second Spurs

Spurs have a future league appearance, and it is understandable that they can rank second. Wenban is only 21 years old and is already in the top ten levels of the league. When he realizes his talent, the Spurs will be able to rise. In addition to Wenban, there are 27-year-old Fox, 20-year-old Castle and 19-year-old Harper. Fox has been selected as the All-Star, and the other two have the potential to become All-Stars. Fox may be traded to leave the team in the future. The Thunder team has been successful, so it is understandable that they are ranked first. Moreover, the Thunder renewed their contract with their three cores. The team will move around them for many years to come. The Thunder has the opportunity to create a dynasty. Their core is Alexander, 27-year-old Jewish, 24-year-old Chett, 23-year-old Carson Wallace and 25-year-old Doult. They are all too young. If the core lineup is retained for at least 7-8 years, they will be championship teams.

Speaking of this, what do you want to say about the ranking this time? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
