Yung No Fly Zone got a huge statement win two weeks ago by pulling out a clutch win over SKW. But now they go into a bit of an unclear stretch with (F) Michael Reding out, and (G) Derik Kumagai out for two weeks as well. They may not stay no. 1 but with everyone returning for playoffs, rest assured this is a title contender yet again.

A late entry this season, Pretty Boys have started well. This is a big and athletic team, but just who will be staying on the roster–and who gets dropped–is still in question. (G) David Chu, (G) John McConnell, (F) Declan O’Donnell and (C) Ernest Christian is already a strong core, and some of these new faces make them look like role players.

SKW
3-2
Even with a revamped roster with no (G) Kash Miah or (F) Sean Zhang, SK War Dog was looking as invincible as ever until these last couple of weeks. But then again, they’ve missed key players through these games as well, so we wouldn’t count them out just yet.

The Space Badgers have all the personnel to make a deep playoff run, it’s just a lot of new faces playing together so this regular season is about building chemistry. If they can start clicking, the combo of (G) Alex Tsay and (F) Sam Deadwyler is a defensive nightmare on the perimeter.

RAR
2-3
They’ve beat the teams they feel like they’re supposed to beat, and now every game is building towards the goal of unseating an upper tier team. (G) Joseph Jaffee is solid as ever, (G) Miguel Melbourne as well. With (C) Zheng Zeng on now, they might have something here.

ISS
1-3
With their ever-changing roster, it’s hard to say where the ISS Flightz will be. Luckily, every team makes the playoffs this season so this veteran team just has to get hot. Hard to say if they have the right personnel but (F) Jason Wu and (F) Wei Fan Zheng have been solid.

Same goes for Shawty Likes the Way, it’s been a disappointing season so far, but they’ve turned seasons around on the fly before. (G) Sam Lu and (G) Deric Kung give them volatile weapons from the perimeter, but this team depends on (C) Jack Latta anchoring the team.
