2ND DIVISION SUNDAYS
1) THE LONG TWOS (3-0)
SCOUTING REPORT: New entry L2S have been a pleasant surprise in D2 play this season. Led by a tough front-line and dynamic play-maker (G) John Chu, the Long Twos have a deep roster and play with the kind of effort that really pays off in the post-season.
2) RAINING ROSEBUDS (3-1)
SCOUTING REPORT: RAR (G/F) Darren Seto is arguably the most talented player in D2, but it’s the team’s attention to defense led by (G) Caleb Lui‘s 4.7 spg and (F) Teddy Okechukwu‘s 1.3 bpg, that makes the former champs a contender once again.
3) NY FALCONS U. (2-2)
SCOUTING REPORT: The Falcons have won a D2 title before as well, so they know how to get there, but this is a much more perimeter-oriented, 1-on-1 approach now. Accordingly, (F) Stan Lee‘s physical and versatile offensive attack, and the emergence of (G) Jeff Zhang have been fun to watch.
4) GRAND THEFT RONDO (1-2)
SCOUTING REPORT: GTR (G/F) Chazz Higginbotham can also put in a claim to for the most talented player in D2. He can do it all on both sides of the ball, and what separates him from almost everyone else is his motor. This guy goes. It would be fun to watch if it weren’t so tiring.
5) BOMB SQUAD (1-2): Vet multi-time champs, they know the directions, but is there enough gas?
6) SEX PANTHERS (1-2): There is very little about this SXP team that resembles the former champs.
7) NY ROCKITS (1-3): ROC have been contenders in past seasons, but something’s missing here.
