How does your NBA team look heading into the 2024-25 season? What about in 2027?
The NBA Future Power Rankings are ESPN's projection of the on-court success expected for each team over the next three seasons: 2024-25, 2025-26 and 2026-27.
Do the defending champion Boston Celtics have the salary cap flexibility to become the NBA's next dynasty? How soon can the San Antonio Spurs build a title contender around French phenom Victor Wembanyama?
What does the future hold for LeBron James' Lakers, Stephen Curry's Warriors and Kevin Durant's Suns as the NBA legends' careers wind down?
To determine the rankings, we asked ESPN analysts Kevin Pelton, Bobby Marks and Tim Bontemps to rate teams in five categories and rank them relative to the rest of the league. (An explanation of each category and a full view of all 30 teams' ratings is at the bottom of these rankings.)
Here is our latest update ahead of the 2024-25 season, featuring a new No. 1 franchise, young contenders on the rise and why the Lakers fell into the league's bottom 10.
