There was a ton of movement within the Southeast Division this summer. Who will be the players to watch?
The NBA’s Southeast Division is a whole lot different now than it was a year ago. Seemingly unbelievable events such as Dwyane Wade leave Miami and Al Horford leaving Atlanta has shaken up the entire division. In fact, the division title seems up for grabs even more so than last year, in which three teams topped it with a 48-34 record.
The intrigue does not stop there. For each departure, there is going to be a player expected to fill the void and for each new contract, there are raised expectations. There are players returning from lengthy injuries and some hoping for a rejuvenation. Amidst all of the uncertainty and excitement about the race for the division title, there are as many extra stories to follow as there are players on each team.
These are the players with something to prove and the ones to watch in the Southeast Division for the 2016-17 season.
