And there you have it. The 2015-16 regular season is in the books. As it began, so shall it end, then, with our final Power Rankings. The postseason is what you play for, so you'll see that the 16 playoff teams occupy the first 16 places here. If you played well down the stretch but still ended up as a draft lottery team, then you are somewhere south of 16. That's just how it goes. As for those 14 teams that didn't make the cut? We put them in a rough order according to which teams we think are most capable of correcting the errors of their ways.
