Rookie Kristaps Porzingis is a surprise in the draft but many believe that he is a future great in the league. It remains to be seen how he will perform against the world's best players.
Finally, Robin Lopez will be the man in the center position and is known for his focus and and energy.
Facing them are the Wizards who recently beat the Philadelphia 76ers 129-95.
Aside from John Wall and Bradley Beal, they have enough pieces to be a strong team in the East.
