Bold NBA predictions for 2023: Wembanyama to Pistons, Jokić for MVP, Kings make playoffs
New York TimesNBA fans have a good idea of where their team stands and what could be on the horizon once the calendar turns to 2023 — good, bad or otherwise. Check out our experts’ bold NBA predictions for 2023: Atlanta Hawks Hawks will finally — no, really — trade John Collins: The team has had Collins out on the trade market for a while in a will-they-or-won’t-they saga closer to CeCe and Coach than Ross and Rachel, but this might just be the season it happens. — Jay King Brooklyn Nets Brooklyn wins a playoff series: I don’t know how bold this is because they currently sit within the top four in the Eastern Conference, but this team was also swept out of the playoffs by Boston last season. — Alex Schiffer Charlotte Hornets Mason Plumlee goes back to shooting foul shots right-handed: Now, you may say, “Wait, why would the league’s worst foul shooter from last season, who’s raised his shooting percentage by nearly 20 points with the wrong hand, go back to flipping them from the right side?” Because, well, he looks ridiculous shooting left-handed, and while they might be going in for him, the Hornets are losing most of the time. — Eric Koreen GO DEEPER Koreen: Pascal Siakam is only player keeping Raptors from true hopelessness Utah Jazz Mike Conley is the point guard on the next Jazz team to make a playoff run: For this to turn out to be true, two things need to happen: Conley must be on Utah’s roster through next season, and the Jazz would have to be very good by next season.
