The NBA is in good hands with emerging young superstars who could be the faces of the league a few years from now. Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Devin Booker, Anthony Edwards, Jayson Tatum and others should follow in the footsteps of LeBron James and Steph Curry. While upcoming stars are the focus of teams, a grizzled, savvy veteran remains a valuable piece.The Golden State Warriors, LA Lakers, Denver Nuggets, Milwaukee Bucks and the Miami Heat are examples of teams with experienced leaders on the roster. Over the past years, they’ve been very successful in part due to the kind of reliable and steady presence on and off the court.Some teams probably need veterans who can hold the locker room together and give them an old hand to count on during adversity. They may not see plenty of action on the floor, but their voice and leadership could be just as crucial for the team to succeed.Here are a few NBA teams that could lean on an experienced leader next season#6 Brooklyn NetsThe Brooklyn Nets will go as far as Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson and Spencer Dinwiddie could carry them. They earned an automatic playoffs spot last season mainly because they had a decent start with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving still in the lineup.Against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Nets looked overmatched in four games. Brooklyn might have been able to make the series more interesting if they had veteran leadership.Dinwiddie is the senior citizen in this group and he’s only 30 years old. He has been in the league for nine years. Someone with more experience and better leadership than him could help this team compete for at least a play-in spot.# 5 Orlando MagicThe Orlando Magic is one of the most talented and interesting teams in the NBA. They are teeming with youth and potential. Coach Jamahl Mosley could also use a veteran leader for his youthful squad.Joe Ingles and Gary Harris can provide a little bit of that old, reliable and veteran smarts. They may need some help in that department to help maximize a lineup that features Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, Anthony Black and Wendell Carter Jr.#4 Houston RocketsNew coach Ime Udoka wanted to add veteran players to one of the youngest teams in the NBA. He acquired Jeff Green, Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks. That may be enough, considering the Kevin Porter Jr. situation and the ages of the players on the Houston Rockets roster.Green has 15 years of experience but nobody has more than eight. Boban Marjanovic, the soft-spoken big guy, and VanVleet have been in the league for eight and seven years, respectively.Another old reliable might be someone Udoka could make use of next season.
