The Dallas Mavericks have the brightest future out of the teams that didn't make the playoffs this season, according to a survey taken amongst a dozen NBA executives, coaches, and scouts.

Participants were asked to rank the top 3 teams they thought had the brightest future in the league. 

The potential of Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis was the most cited reason for the Mavs' top ranking.

The Sacramento Kings received the second most votes, with the Atlanta Hawks rounding out the top 3.
