NBA Power Rankings: 30 teams, 30 weaknesses

Welcome back to another installment of HoopsHype’s power rankings! Last time, we looked at X-Factors. This week, I wanted to do something a little different by examining a major weakness for each team.

It’s not always the biggest weak spot because those become boring: Team X can’t shoot, Team Y can’t defend, rinse, repeat. Sometimes, I can’t escape the low-hanging fruit, but I try to find something worthy of more analysis for most teams.

This column isn’t about hating, although it may come off that way at times. This is a clear-eyed examination of what is dragging a team down.

The NBA trade deadline is just a few days away, so some squads may address their shortcomings soon! Let’s dive in.
