With many NBA players and franchises being desperate for a title the term “super team” has become relevant. This has led to the creation of teams with 3-4 superstars in their starting lineup. Yes, this does lead to some great games when the super teams battle it out, but it does leave some teams having absolutely no talent while they try and rebuild. This top 5 will be on what I believe the top 5 worst NBA teams this season will be. 5. The New Orleans Pelicans: You may see the Pelicans at five and begin to argue about the fact they have Anthony Davis, but besides him the team is garbage. Davis does have the ability to go out and put up high numbers in points, but one man cannot lead a team on his own. With early injuries to both Tyreke Evans, Lance Stephenson, and Jrue Holiday the team's fate is in the hands of Davis. 4. Washington Wizards: The Washington Wizards may have one of the best guard duos in Bradley Beal and John Wall, but Bradley Beal has struggled with injuries leaving the scoring up to Wall. The only way I see the Wizards being successful is if Beal stays healthy, and if another Wizards player has an above average season. 3. Denver Nuggets: The Denver Nuggets haven't made the playoffs in the last three seasons, and now lack a star player after losing Ty Lawson. They do have Danillo Gallinari who is a very underrated scorer and Kenneth Faried who is a freak of an athlete. Their point guard Emmanuel Mudiay needs to develop as a player, and maybe make some offseason moves, before this team can become solid. 2. Brooklyn Nets: All you really have to do is look at the Nets roster and you will see so many names you don’t recognize. They lack even a regular star let alone a super star, and besides Brook Lopez they lack another scorer. Everyone on their team averages about ten points a game if that which is not enough to win games in the NBA. 1. Philadelphia 76ers: The 76ers went 12-70 which is almost the complete opposite of the best record of all time held by the Golden State Warriors which is 73-9. Most if not all of their starters wouldn’t even be the 7th man off the bench for most teams. Their gm isn’t very smart because all of their recent high picks were wasted on big men. They drafted Ben Simmons who they hoped would be a superstar player, but he ended up getting injured in the pre-season. The sad thing is that the 76ers may have an even worse season this year. This has been what I believe is the top 5 worst teams in the NBA. If you disagree with my top 5 please leave your top 5 worst teams in the comments below.

This was very interesting to read about even though I don't follow basketball. Since I don;t follow basketball, I hadn't heard of some of the teams you mentioned and maybe that is why they are in the Top 5 Worst Teams in NBA. You gave good points and also gave reasons why they could have potential. optimistic attitude (:

Even though I may not agree with this list, It is still very well organized and informed me.
