Milwaukee Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks were the class of the NBA Central Division this past season, as the Bucks finished at the top of the entire Eastern Conference in the regular season. Giannis Antetokounmpo put together another MVP caliber season, and the depth of the Bucks propelled them through times where injuries hit their starting lineup. Milwaukee has proven themselves capable of holding onto this division for years to come, with Giannis leading them.
Cleveland Cavaliers
It was an impressive year for the Cleveland Cavaliers, as they made a huge leap in the Eastern Conference. They finished fourth in the East, with Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland turning into an elite guard duo for the Cavs. Combined with the impressive interior play of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, Cleveland’s future looks bright after their second place finish in the Central.
Chicago Bulls
This year was a disappointing one for the Chicago Bulls. They failed to get out of the play-in tournament after finishing in third place in the NBA Central Division. The trio of DeMar DeRozan, Nikola Vucevic, and Zach LaVine is clearly not championship caliber, and there are questions about whether or not Lonzo Ball will ever get back onto the floor. The upcoming offseason is full of question marks for this team as a result.
Detroit Pistons
The Detroit Pistons’ goal going into this season was to tank, and they did a masterful job of it. Cade Cunningham was lost early in the season, and the Pistons proceeded to lose a league-high 65 games out of 82. Detroit will hope to get a top draft pick in exchange for all of that misery, but that might not be enough to lift this team up into the territory of respectability anytime soon.
Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers finished in fourth place in the Central Division. They went 35-47, as they were never really a threat to make the postseason along the way despite a strong start to the year. Tyrese Haliburton earned an All-Star nod, and deservedly so, as he should be a cornerstone piece of this franchise going forward.
