NBA preview 2026-27: What Bobby Marks is watching at 30 training camps

Bobby Marks’ preseason outlook looks at every roster, contract situation and scheme fit as the 30 teams head into training camp. The Boston Celtics enter the season with a 56‑26 record, sitting second in the Eastern Conference, fourth in the overall power rankings, and riding a two‑game winning streak. Their recent form—8‑2 in the last ten games and a +7.7 net rating—places them among the league’s most consistent contenders.

For the Toronto Raptors, forward Kawhi Leonard (jersey #2) remains the focal point of their offensive plans. Leonard posted averages of 27.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists over 65 games, shooting 50.5 percent from the field. As the preseason unfolds, Marks will likely assess how Leonard’s production integrates with the Raptors’ roster construction and whether the team can improve on its current standing in the Eastern Conference.
