Updated Team Rotations for Every Single NBA Team

Adam FromalJun 7, 2018

Most future rotation members have found landing spots during the NBA offseason, and the 30 teams are starting to truly take shape. 

So, how is your favorites team's rotation looking right now? 

These are the updated team rotations for each and every team in The Association. 

Read on to find out which teams look strong and which have work left to do. 

Atlanta Hawks

1 of 30

Point Guard: Jeff Teague, Devin Harris

Shooting Guard: Lou Williams, John Jenkins, DeShawn Stevenson

Small Forward: Kyle Korver, Anthony Morrow

Power Forward: Josh Smith, Mike Scott

Center: Al Horford, Zaza Pachulia

After trading away Joe Johnson, the Atlanta Hawks will continue to operate with a roster that features a number of players playing out of their natural positions. 

Al Horford should continue to start at center when healthy, which allows Josh Smith and Kyle Korver to both enter the starting lineup. 

Boston Celtics

2 of 30

Point Guard: Rajon Rondo, Keyon Dooling

Shooting Guard: Avery Bradley (injured), Jason Terry, Courtney Lee

Small Forward: Paul Pierce, Jeff Green, Kris Joseph

Power Forward: Brandon Bass, Jared Sullinger

Center: Kevin Garnett, Fab Melo

The Boston Celtics won't be able to use Ray Allen in the rotation now that the all-time leading three-point shooter is with the Miami Heat. 

However, the vast majority of the rotation will look quite similar to last year's, with the exception of the incoming rookies. 

Brooklyn Nets

3 of 30

Point Guard: Deron Williams, C.J. Watson

Shooting Guard: Joe Johnson, Marshon Brooks

Small Forward: Gerald Wallace, Jerry Stackhouse

Power Forward: Kris Humphries, Mirza Teletovic

Center: Brook Lopez, Reggie Evans

The Brooklyn Nets roster actually doesn't look much different, with the exception of a few new backups and a shiny new starter in Joe Johnson. 

Joe is an offensive stud who will thrive as the second option in the Nets offense and push this team into contention.

Charlotte Bobcats

4 of 30

Point Guard: Ramon Sessions, Kemba Walker

Shooting Guard: Ben Gordon, Gerald Henderson

Small Forward: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Jeffery Taylor, Reggie Williams

Power Forward: Byron Mullens, Tyrus Thomas

Center: Bismack Biyombo, Brendan Haywood

The Charlotte Bobcats can't possibly be as bad as they were last year. At least that's what Michael Jordan is telling himself right now. 

Although the addition of Ramon Sessions is going to hinder the development of Kemba Walker, Sessions is one of the new players that should make a positive impact for this team. He certainly won't have to worry about freezing up in the playoffs again. 

Chicago Bulls

5 of 30

Point Guard: Derrick Rose (injured), Kirk Hinrich, Marquis Teague

Shooting Guard: Rip Hamilton, Marco Belinelli

Small Forward: Luol Deng, Jimmy Butler

Power Forward: Carlos Boozer, Taj Gibson

Center: Joakim Noah, Nazr Mohammed

This rotation is going to look a lot more deadly once Derrick Rose is healthy and playing at an MVP or near-MVP level once more. 

Even while Rose is out, the Chicago Bulls are solid at every position. 

Cleveland Cavaliers

6 of 30

Point Guard: Kyrie Irving, Jeremy Pargo, Donald Sloan

Shooting Guard: Dion Waiters, Daniel Gibson

Small Forward: Alonzo Gee, Omri Casspi

Power Forward: Tristan Thompson, Samardo Samuels, Luke Harangody

Center: Anderson Varejao, Tyler Zeller, Jon Leuer

The Cleveland Cavaliers feature a ton of young pieces, but none better than reigning Rookie of the Year Kyrie Irving. 

There is a bit of a jam in the frontcourt, as Tristan Thompson, Tyler Zeller and Anderson Varejao all deserve playing time. 

Dallas Mavericks

7 of 30

Point Guard: Darren Collison, Rodrigue Beaubois

Shooting Guard: O.J. Mayo, Delonte West, Dahntay Jones

Small Forward: Vince Carter, Shawn Marion, Jae Crowder

Power Forward: Dirk Nowitzki, Elton Brand

Center: Chris Kaman, Bernard James

The Dallas Mavericks didn't seem like they were going to be in great shape after missing out on one point guard after another. 

However, trading for Darren Collison and signing both Chris Kaman and Elton Brand remedied any problems that the Mavs might have. 

Denver Nuggets

8 of 30

Point Guard: Ty Lawson, Andre Miller

Shooting Guard: Arron Afflalo, Evan Fournier

Small Forward: Danilo Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, Corey Brewer, Jordan Hamilton

Power Forward: Kenneth Faried, Anthony Randolph, Al Harrington

Center: JaVale McGee, Timofey Mozgov, Kostas Koufos

The Denver Nuggets were already one of the deepest and most well-rounded teams in the NBA, and they only got better. 

Evan Fournier is capable of making an immediate impact and a full season of Wilson Chandler can only mean good things. 

Detroit Pistons

9 of 30

Point Guard: Brandon Knight, Will Bynum

Shooting Guard: Rodney Stuckey, Kim English

Small Forward: Corey Maggette, Tayshaun Prince, Kyle Singler

Power Forward: Jason Maxiell, Charlie Villanueva, Jonas Jerebko

Center: Greg Monroe, Andre Drummond

The Detroit Pistons didn't move enough veterans to fully hand this team over to Brandon Knight, Rodney Stuckey and Greg Monroe, but that should still happen on the court. 

Don't expect Andre Drummond to make much of an impact during his rookie season, even if the rest of the young players look good. 

Golden State Warriors

10 of 30

Point Guard: Stephen Curry, Jarrett Jack

Shooting Guard: Klay Thompson, Brandon Rush

Small Forward: Harrison Barnes, Richard Jefferson

Power Forward: David Lee, Jeremy Tyler

Center: Andrew Bogut, Festus Ezeli, Andris Biedrins

Drafting Harrison Barnes helped the Golden State Warriors fill in their hole at small forward, so now this roster is solid all the way through. 

Then again, the injury gods seem to hate the Dubs. 

Houston Rockets

11 of 30

Point Guard: Jeremy Lin, Toney Douglas

Shooting Guard: Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb

Small Forward: Chandler Parsons, Terrence Jones

Power Forward: Patrick Patterson, Marcus Morris, Royce White, JaJuan Johnson

Center: Omer Asik, Donatas Motiejunas

Youth is the name of the game here as Kevin Martin is the only key contributor with many years of experience. 

Truthfully though, no one has any idea what the Houston Rockets are doing. 

Indiana Pacers

12 of 30

Point Guard: D.J. Augustin, George Hill

Shooting Guard: Paul George, Gerald Green

Small Forward: Danny Granger

Power Forward: David West, Tyler Hansbrough

Center: Roy Hibbert, Ian Mahinmi, Miles Plumlee

There will most likely be a training camp battle between D.J. Augustin and George Hill for the starting point guard job, but the rest of the spots in the starting five are locked and loaded. 

The Indiana Pacers managed to add some depth at shooting guard and center during the offseason. 

Los Angeles Clippers

13 of 30

Point Guard: Chris Paul, Eric Bledsoe

Shooting Guard: Chauncey Billups, Jamal Crawford

Small Forward: Caron Butler, Grant Hill, Lamar Odom

Power Forward: Blake Griffin, Trey Thompkins

Center: DeAndre Jordan, Ronny Turiaf

A healthy Chauncey Billups should be a valuable piece in the starting lineup for the Los Angeles Clippers, but it's the bench that truly shines. 

The acquisitions of Jamal Crawford, Grant Hill, Lamar Odom and Ronny Turiaf give the Clippers one of the best benches in all of the NBA. 

Los Angeles Lakers

14 of 30

Point Guard: Steve Nash, Steve Blake, Darius Morris

Shooting Guard: Kobe Bryant, Andrew Goudelock

Small Forward: Metta World Peace, Christian Eyenga

Power Forward: Pau Gasol, Antawn Jamison

Center: Andrew Bynum, Jordan Hill

The Los Angeles Lakers have arguably the best starting five in the NBA after the addition of Steve Nash. 

Antawn Jamison's arrival will also help shore up what should be a relatively lackluster second unit. 

Memphis Grizzlies

15 of 30

Point Guard: Mike Conley, Jerryd Bayless

Shooting Guard: Tony Allen, Josh Selby

Small Forward: Rudy Gay, Quincy Pondexter

Power Forward: Zach Randolph, Marreese Speights

Center: Marc Gasol, Hamed Haddadi

The Memphis Grizzlies are going to look pretty similar during the 2012-2013 season when compared to their past rotation. 

No pieces in the starting lineup have moved at all. 

Miami Heat

16 of 30

Point Guard: Mario Chalmers, Norris Cole

Shooting Guard: Dwyane Wade, Ray Allen, Mike Miller

Small Forward: Shane Battier, Rashard Lewis

Power Forward: LeBron James, Udonis Haslem

Center: Chris Bosh, Joel Anthony

It's about time that we just start listing LeBron James as a power forward, since he seems to be trending towards that position more and more as the games continue to pile up during his career.

The only major changes to the rotation involve Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis, with the former expected to make a much larger impact.  

Milwaukee Bucks

17 of 30

Point Guard: Brandon Jennings, Beno Udrih

Shooting Guard: Monta Ellis, Doron Lamb, Mike Dunleavy

Small Forward: Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, Tobias Harris

Power Forward: Ersan Ilyasova, John Henson

Center: Samuel Dalembert, Drew Gooden, Ekpe Udoh

The Milwaukee Bucks have one of the best backcourts in the NBA, comprised of two high-scoring guards in Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis. 

Bringing back Ersan Ilyasova was crucial, but the frontcourt is still going to be the weakness of the team. 

Minnesota Timberwolves

18 of 30

Point Guard: Ricky Rubio, Luke Ridnour, J.J. Barea, Alexey Shved

Shooting Guard: Brandon Roy, Malcolm Lee

Small Forward: Chase Budinger, Andrei Kirilenko

Power Forward: Kevin Love, Derrick Williams

Center: Nikola Pekovic, Greg Stiemsma

The Minnesota Timberwolves' rotation definitely resembles that of a playoff team. If Ricky Rubio can stay healthy, the sky is the limit for this team. 

That said, shooing guard could be a problem for the Wolves if Roy is either injured or ineffective in his return from retirement. 

New Orleans Hornets

19 of 30

Point Guard: Austin Rivers, Greivis Vasquez

Shooting Guard: Eric Gordon, Xavier Henry

Small Forward: Al-Farouq Aminu, Darius Miller

Power Forward: Ryan Anderson, Jason Smith

Center: Anthony Davis, Robin Lopez, Solomon Jones

Rookies and new acquisitions are going to earn a lot of minutes in the New Orleans Hornets rotation. 

Austin Rivers and Anthony Davis should start the season in the starting lineup, as should recently-traded-for Ryan Anderson. 

New York Knicks

20 of 30

Point Guard: Raymond Felton, Jason Kidd

Shooting Guard: Iman Shumpert (injured), J.R. Smith, Ronnie Brewer

Small Forward: Carmelo Anthony, Steve Novak

Power Forward: Amar'e Stoudemire, Kurt Thomas

Center: Tyson Chandler, Marcus Camby

The New York Knicks rotation isn't going to contain a certain breakout point guard, but Raymond Felton and Jason Kidd will be capable substitutes in the backcourt. 

Shooting guard will be a strength once Iman Shumpert is back, and the stars will be out in full force at Madison Square Garden. 

Oklahoma City Thunder

21 of 30

Point Guard: Russell Westbrook, Eric Maynor

Shooting Guard: Thabo Sefolosha, James Harden, Daequan Cook

Small Forward: Kevin Durant, Perry Jones III

Power Forward: Serge Ibaka, Nick Collison

Center: Kendrick Perkins, Cole Aldrich, Hasheem Thabeet

A healthy Eric Maynor and recently-drafted Perry Jones III will help make the Oklahoma City Thunder's bench a bit deeper and more well-rounded. 

Plus, the big four is back as Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka and James Harden will all be major contributors to the rotation. 

Orlando Magic

22 of 30

Point Guard: Jameer Nelson, Chris Duhon

Shooting Guard: Jason Richardson, J.J. Redick

Small Forward: Hedo Turkoglu, Quentin Richardson

Power Forward: Glen Davis, Gustavo Ayon

Even with Dwight Howard, this rotation isn't looking too solid. 

Once he's gone—once, not if—the Orlando magic are going to look pretty awful. 

Philadelphia 76ers

23 of 30

Point Guard: Jrue Holiday, Royal Ivey

Shooting Guard: Nick Young, Evan Turner

Small Forward: Andre Iguodala, Dorell Wright, Maurice Harkless

Power Forward: Spencer Hawes, Thaddeus Young, Lavoy Allen

Center: Kwame Brown, Nikola Vucevic

The Philadelphia 76ers' rotation doesn't make much sense because they have way too many swingmen and tweeners on the roster. 

I'd expect for the Sixers to move one or more of their young players before the 2012-2013 trade deadline. 

Phoenix Suns

24 of 30

Point Guard: Goran Dragic, Kendall Marshall

Shooting Guard: Jared Dudley, Shannon Brown

Small Forward: Michael Beasley, Wesley Johnson

Power Forward: Luis Scola, Markieff Morris

Center: Marcin Gortat  

The Phoenix Suns underwent a massive roster overhaul following Steve Nash's departure for the Los Angeles Lakers. 

Between Goran Dragic's return to the Phoenix Suns and the arrivals of Michael Beasley and Luis Scola, Phoenix will look a lot different and potentially compete for a playoff spot. 

Portland Trail Blazers

25 of 30

Point Guard: Damian Lillard, Nolan Smith

Shooting Guard: Wesley Matthews, Elliot Matthews

Small Forward: Nicolas Batum, Luke Babbitt

Power Forward: J.J. Hickson, Jared Jeffries

Center: LaMarcus Aldridge, Meyers Leonard

The Portland Trail Blazers won't be able to let LaMarcus Aldridge play his natural position until Meyers Leonard has some experience and isn't just a raw, high-upside rookie. 

Damian Lillard should easily make Blazers fans forget about Raymond Felton, and the rest of the rotation should look fairly similar. 

Sacramento Kings

26 of 30

Point Guard: Isaiah Thomas, Aaron Brooks, Jimmer Fredette

Shooting Guard: Marcus Thornton, Francisco Garcia

Small Forward: Tyreke Evans, John Salmons, James Johnson

Power Forward: Thomas Robinson, Jason Thompson

Center: DeMarcus Cousins, Chuck Hayes

The Sacramento Kings only added to their passive logjam in the backcourt by signing Aaron Brooks in his return from China. Now, Tyreke Evans will have to continue playing small forward to allow Isaiah Thomas and Marcus Thornton to keep getting playing time. 

Thomas Robinson is NBA-ready enough to start from day one and should form a terrifying frontcourt pairing with DeMarcus Cousins. 

San Antonio Spurs

27 of 30

Point Guard: Tony Parker, Gary Neal

Shooting Guard: Danny Green, Manu Ginobili

Small Forward: Kawhi Leonard, Stephen Jackson

Power Forward: Boris Diaw, DeJuan Blair

Center: Tim Duncan, Tiago Splitter

Even if Tim Duncan doesn't like it, I'm listing him at center now. That's the position he's been playing for a while now, although he'll go down in NBA history as the best power forward of all time. 

The San Antonio Spurs rotation will look remarkably similar to last year's makeup. 

Toronto Raptors

28 of 30

Point Guard: Kyle Lowry, Jose Calderon, John Lucas III

Shooting Guard: Landry Fields, Terrence Ross

Small Forward: DeMar DeRozan, Linas Kleiza

Power Forward: Andrea Bargnani, Ed Davis, Amir Johnson

Center: Jonas Valanciunas, Aaron Gray

It's time to start giving the Toronto Raptors some respect. With the additions of Kyle Lowry, Terrence Ross, Landry Fields and Jonas Valanciunas, this could be a dangerous team. 

I wouldn't expect for the Raptors to make the playoffs in 2012-2013, but they'll be in contention and should then elevate their games in a year or two of playing together.

Utah Jazz

29 of 30

Point Guard: Mo Williams, Earl Watson, Jamaal Tinsley

Shooting Guard: Gordon Hayward, Alec Burks, Randy Foye

Small Forward: Marvin Williams, DeMarre Carroll

Power Forward: Paul Millsap, Jeremy Evans

Center: Al Jefferson, Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter

The Utah Jazz have too many quality frontcourt players, which could lead to chemistry problems as Paul Millsap, Jeremy Evans, Al Jefferson, Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter all deserve playing time. 

Mo Williams should be a solid point guard in his return to the Utah Jazz and the Jazz will contend for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. 

Washington Wizards

30 of 30

Point Guard: John Wall, Shelvin Mack

Shooting Guard: Jordan Crawford, Bradley Beal

Small Forward: Trevor Ariza, Chris Singleton

Power Forward: Jan Vesely, Trevor Booker

Center: Nene Hilario, Emeka Okafor

The Washington Wizards are trying to build their roster to win now, after adding Nene Hilario (middle of last season), Emeka Okafor and Bradley Beal. 

With a healthy Jan Vesely improving during his sophomore season, John Wall now has enough offensive options to start living up to his potential.
