2019 NBA Season Preview

New Faces in New Places

How will Brandon Ingram, D’Angelo Russell, Kristaps Porzingis, Josh Richardson, and others look like in new jerseys this season?

IT WAS THE WILDEST NBA SUMMER IN YEARS, AND THAT’S NOT EVEN COUNTING THE ACTUAL GAMES. Once the Toronto Raptors were crowned NBA champions, the real fun began with the 2019 Draft and a crazy summer featuring over 40% of the players as free agents. Well over a billion dollars in contracts were given out, and most NBA teams got a complete makeover. Marquee names like Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Russell Westbrook, Kemba Walker, Jimmy Butler, and others exchanged jerseys.

All those names had the NBA buzzing all summer. We’ve spent months wondering how Westbrook and Harden will share the ball, what Kemba will look like in green, and how Brow will fit with LeBron while dreaming about Zion Williamson, R.J. Barrett, Ja Morant, and a talented rookie class.

But other players changed digs this summer too, and many of them have intriguing seasons ahead that could change the look of the NBA landscape. Let’s take a look at 10 of the most interesting New Faces in New Places around the NBA. No rookies or mega stars allowed. What will guys like Brandon Ingram, Josh Richardson, D’Angelo Russell, Kristaps Porzingis, and others look like wearing different jerseys?
