🔁 2) NYK Spartans (2-0): The Sparty back court has provided very efficient scoring, they have two of the best in (G) Josh Hyon and (G) David Chu.
⬆️ 3) Shut ‘Em Down (2-0): New add (G) Christian Tirta has given SED a much-needed second scorer to complement the very prolific (G) Courteney Tabron.
⬆️ 4) Hakuna Matata (1-1): (F) Nalonte Barlow is in his bag right now.
⬆️ 5) PWC Vino (1-1): Solid front-court, but iffy 3-pt shooting.

⬇️ 8) Age Up There (0-2): Missing key front court pieces so far.
2ND DIVISION
⬆️ 1) YOLO (2-0): A strong start from this veteran roster, led by the strong front court play of (F) Claumar McRae.

🔁 7) Dutch Masters (0-1): Tough opener, but lots of time to build.
3RD DIVISION WEST
🔁 1) Sex Panthers (2-0): Defending champs have a deep, veteran back court with plenty of pedigree. Not much size, but (G) Ian Yu is one of the best guard rebounders ever in D3.
🔁 2) Spaghetti Ramen (2-0): Eventual first ballot Hall-of-Famer (G) Leuis Ng is still opening new bag of tricks, scoring an insane 37 ppg in his first 2 games this season.

⬇️ 4) Smash N’ Bounce (0-1): No drop off, yet another contender in the mix.

⛔ 5) Ibaka Flaka Flame (1-1): Two very capable scorers in (G) Julian Choi & (F) Jin Tae Kim.
⬆️ 6) Black & Yellow (0-2): Solid pieces, offensive efficiency is the question mark.
THE OCHO
⛔ 1) Ramen & Meatballs (2-0): Another branch of the Ramen tree, and they look like the team to beat so far, led by (F) Pat Lee.
⬆️ 2) The Renegades (1-0): Bolstered by an imposing front court, REN will be a tough team to beat all season.
⬆️ 3) Satriale’s (1-1): Led by heady guard play of (G) Andrew Farco.
⬇️ 4) NY Bricks (1-1): Bricks have a rebounding machine in rookie (F) Jake Reichel.
⛔ 5) Cash Considerations (0-2): Veteran group should make some noise in T8.
⬆️ 6) Space Jam 3 (0-2): New team with solid pieces. 3-pt shooting is a weakness.
