You don't have to be a diehard NBA aficionado to figure out which teams everyone will be watching during the 2017-18 season.

The Golden State Warriors, with their ever-growing supply of talent, will be busy defending their title just about every other night on national television. With or without Kyrie Irving, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be all over your screens, thanks to LeBron James and his supporting cast. The Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves will draw plenty of eyeballs with their superstar additions of the summer.

And don't forget about the Los Angeles Lakers and their legions of fans all across the globe. If you thought it was crazy that the Purple and Gold attracted more than a million viewers to a Las Vegas Summer League game, just imagine the numbers they'll put up with Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram when the games actually matter.

The Association, though, is much stronger than the handful of teams at the top. Of the 25 not already mentioned, these 10 should be worth your precious viewing time, based on playing style and upside, even if they aren't necessarily among the most buzzworthy clubs going into the fall.
