1ST DIVISION (SUNDAYS)

Rank	Team	Record	Comments
1 (N/A)	LMA	1-0	No team looked more ready in their opener than LACE’O MY ASO. They’re in mid-season form, and the return of (F/C) Kyle Jose is huge. They need his size and all-around skills. But this is the (G) Mat Joshy show. The reigning MVP looks primed and ready to for a chip.
2 (N/A)	NFZ	1-1	You don’t usually see much turnover in this veteran team, but YUNG NO FLY ZONE has some new faces. So there will be growing pains, in this case, on defense, giving up a whopping league-high 74 ppg so far. But if they can get it together, this is a stacked roster.
3 (N/A)	LIZ	1-0	This isn’t the same LIZARDS team that won the D1 title a few years ago. There are some new pieces on the roster, but most importantly, (G) Joe Zenz, a perennial MVP candidate, and arguably the best PG in D1. And word is (F) Nat Schacht will return to the roster as well.
4 (N/A)	SKW	1-1	SK WAR DOG erupted in a supernova in their opener vs NFZ, scoring 81 pts in the win. But that fast start only masked some big issues. This team is undersized, carrying the oldest roster in D1, and (G) Kash Miah will need time in his first season back from his knee injury.
5 (N/A)	RAR	1-0	RAINING ROSEBUDS lost a heart-breaker in the playoffs, having to play short-handed in the 1st round. But virtually the same personnel is back to rekindle the great run they had last season. Their veteran backcourt is enough to pull out most games.
6 (N/A)	SKK	0-2	SHAWN KEMP’S KIDS guards are wreaking havoc on both ends of the court, but their back line is not particularly quick, which can cause defensive problems late in games. But the good news is, (G) Donovan Walsh is hitting his jumper, so a turnaround seems imminent.
7 (N/A)	ADG	0-2	They have the biggest roster in D1 in terms of overall size, but like SKK, the ADAM D GAMBLERS don’t have a ton of speed on the back line. And their backcourt is more power guards than speedy. Which is okay, if they can better control tempo, they can still make a move up.
8 (N/A)	STM	0-1	STRANGER TEAM is a young team making their second campaign in D1. They have plenty of speed and shooters, but so far, not much size. Which like ADG is okay if they can dominate pace and space. To do that though, they will need to shoot better than 24% from 3.

2ND DIVISION (SUNDAYS)

Rank	Team	Record	Comments
1 (N/A)	WOL	2-0	With each passing season, the WOLVERINES have gotten better at pulling out wins even when it looks like they’re not sharp. Reigning MVP (F) Nick Liveris has not missed a beat, and in his 2nd season with WOL, (G) Nick Abrapour should only get better.
2 (N/A)	BOM	1-1	The defending champs, BOMB SQUAD, look as tough as ever with most of the same core intact. Throwaway the loss, it was essentially a forfeit. One new face is (C) Spencer Bartlebaugh replacing (F) Joseph Bravo. He is a house in the paint.
3 (N/A)	FOB	2-0	This is the same GRITTY FOB CITY as ever, and they’ve gotten off to a great start, which is not always the case. (F) Ken Van is playing well, and they got two wins with no (G) Ace Watanasuparp in the lineup. We’ll have to see how long this lasts.
4 (N/A)	ROV	2-0	You won’t recognize the name, but RICE IN OUR VEINS is a former D2 champ as SHA. There are some new pieces in place, but rest assured (F) Sam Lu & (G) Deric Kung will be launching 3FGs from beginning to end. This team has some serious firepower.
5 (N/A)	SXP	0-1	The veteran SEX PANTHERS gave away a very winnable game to #1 WOL, which is a testament to how good they still are. (G) Caleb Lui has joined this season’s roster along with the usual suspects.
6 (N/A)	BRI	1-1	The NY BRICKS took D2 by storm a few seasons ago as DRK. But a few seasons off can mess with continuity. Bricks are averaging a team league-low 40 ppg. BRI (G) Eric Kim is still one of the most dangerous PGs in D2 but they need some offense quick
7 (N/A)	TAP	1-1	TAP NY is low key good and should be looking to move up. They went toe-to-toe with BOM, and blew out NYU, and that’s because (G) Will Chu is red hot. (F) Dave Liu is a great add and they still have (G) John Hsu and (F) Jin Bae Kim who have been quiet.
8 (N/A)	GOA	1-1	With the addition of (G) Evan Tsevdos, who looks fully recovered from knee issues, the GOAT HERDERS have as top-heavy a roster as you can get. But as good as their Top 4 or 5 players are, they will need big contributions from role players to make it all work.
9 (N/A)	TEA	0-1	TEAL CURTAIN has been on the verge for a few seasons now. And you can’t say it’s because they’re new anymore. When they have a full roster, they’re a contender with their size and commitment to defense. But those days have been few and far between.
10 (N/A)	SPR	0-2	The 4x D3 champs, SPAGHETTI RAMEN picked a tough season to move up to D2. This is a stacked field, and no matter what happens, some teams will be disappointed come playoff time. But they still have a D3 WN team vying for a 5th chip, so why not give this a shot.
11 (N/A)	NFZ	0-1	Three seasons ago NO FLY ZONE OG would have been a stacked team. But with this many players over 30, particularly lead (G) Ren Hsieh who will be 39 this season, this may be the final decline. That is unless they get some help, particularly some young legs.
12 (N/A)	NYU	0-1	NY UNITED had only a shell squad available in their opener. Their roster is not yet set, so this is a default low ranking. We’re pretty sure they will add some solid pieces.

3RD DIVISION (SUNDAYS)

Rank	Team	Record	Comments
1 (N/A)	JPU	2-0	Spaghetti Ramen moved up, so D3 is up for grabs this season. So last season’s finalists, JAPAN UNITED is poised to take the reins. (G) Osamu Tanigawa & (G) Ryota Takahashi are the fastest duo in D3. And they have all the pieces they need to win it all.
2 (N/A)	STR	1-0	Last season, STREET DREAMS looked like they might unseat SPR, but they lost in the semis to JPU. So (G) Miguel Melbourne, D3’s reigning MVP, is back to make another run at it.
3 (N/A)	POG	2-0	The new kids on the block, POGI POINTS is led by speedy (F) Jin Bae Kim. They have a rookie scorer in (G) Gio Panlileo that teams should go ahead and put on the scouting report. This team is a total wild card right now until we see more of them.
4 (N/A)	CRU	2-0	THE CRUSTACEANS are on the same boat, great 2-0 start, but lots of unknowns. One thing’s for sure (G) Jason Lai looks like a bona fide D3 franchise player, carrying CRU with 20 ppg, 7.5 rpg.
5 (N/A)	PAN	0-1	Tough loss for THE PANDAS in Week 1, but they should bounce back to be a playoff team. Led by do-it-all (F) Ben Wang, it’s not clear if (G) Eddie Tsao is on the roster yet, but they have added another shooter with (G) Jason Truong.
6 (N/A)	FAL	1-1	NY FALCONS U are probably the youngest team in D3, so there will be ups and downs. But one thing is for sure, they can score the ball at a whopping 61 ppg so far. (F) Jeff Zheng should be among the league’s top scorers this season.
7 (N/A)	GOO	0-1	Not a great start for GOON SQUAD, but they made a 2nd half surge last fall to make some noise. Depends on personnel, but they can do it again. GOO’s been here long enough to know what it takes.
8 (N/A)	BLO	0-1	We have seen the full roster yet, but THE BLOUSES look like a number of transplants from LEGO in D3 WN. That was a team that tended to underachieve, but having All-Defensive team (C) Danius Giedraitis back is a good anchor to move up from.
9 (N/A)	SON	0-2	A heartbreaking loss to CRU in Week 2 is the only thing dropping the SUPERSONICS outside of playoff contention right now. This is a team with a lot of new faces, so even at 0-2, anything is possible. They will, however, need to find some consistent scoring.
10 (N/A)	LIF	0-2	Perennially one of our favorite teams, LET IT FLY has the pieces to make a playoff run. The problem has been chemistry and nobody is getting any younger. This is a momentum team, so if they can string together a couple of solid wins, they can make a run.
