NBA Teams of the Future

The NBA is becoming more and more about the future success. This is evident in the fact that many more teams are opting to tank, instead of trying, in a desperate attempt to sacrifice their present to build a foundation for their future. But when will that coveted future come? The Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers, for example, have gotten many high picks in the recent future, but that still hasn't panned out for them. So what teams actually have a good chance for success in the future? (In no particular order.)
1. Milwaukee Bucks- With rising stars such as Jabari Parker, Giannis However-you-say-his-last-name, and others leading the way, the Bucks are young and inexperienced, yet full of athleticism and talent, and are anxious to win. They are also confused about what games they're supposed to win, as was apparent last playoffs when they hit a buzzer-beater and recently when they knocked off the royal Golden State Warriors.
2. Phoenix Suns- The Suns were playing surprisingly well last season with Jeff Hornacek as the coach. Although they last Goran Dragic, I can see this Phoenix team bonding together and showing improvement. After the Nash-era the Suns struggled and started the rebuilding process. If their player like Brandon Knight, Eric Bledsoe, Tyson Chandler, and other key players play to their full potential, and continue to improve, I believe that they will be one of the teams to watch.
3. Utah Jazz- Despite they're coming off a few bad losses (a heartbreaker overtime game against OKC and a blowout loss to the Spurs), the Jazz have the fountain of youth on their side. It seems that Coach Quin Snyder and this organization are a fairly good match. Improvement is coming for the Jazz, slowly and surely, and flashes of brilliance are being shown from the role players. Now all the Jazz need are a consistent superstar to lead them to victory. Whether it come from Gordon Hayward of Rudy Gobert, or even someone new to the franchise, somebody needs to step up for their success to become a reality.
