The Northwest Division is one of the best in basketball, and now we will attempt to power rank each team including our home favorites, the Denver Nuggets.

The 2016-2017 regular season is almost here, and many fans, including myself are making their predictions. Who will bring home the Larry O’Brien trophy at the end? Which teams will even make the playoffs? Who can take the top spot in the Northwest Division?

One of the more interesting divisions to think about in the NBA is the Northwest Division.

The teams in this division include the Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz, Portland Trail-Blazers, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Minnesota Timberwolves. All of these teams have good, young core players that could get them to a good place in the future, but who is the best team?

The Northwest was shaken up this offseason. With KD joining Golden State and George Hill being traded to Utah, the division will be as close as ever, but we will come out with the crown? Well, let’s see if you agree with us with who will start with the crown.

And, without further ado, here is the official Nugg Love preseason power rankings of the Northwest Division.
