9. HRB
10. MAT

Should be a competitive season, but JOE is receiving way too much hype, WIL still needs to prove himself after being out of the BBA for the last two seasons, KLO will continue to be top 3 in the rankings somehow, MKE will surprise people by finishing in the middle of the pack, and RUS finally steps up his game to overtake both DAN and DAV.

It's now fairly obvious that the tandem of HYN-ROG is too unstoppable. With their reckless shooting and uptempo playing style, no one in the league could hang with them (as they take AND make shots from as far out as half court). Sorry we can't play together this season ROG.

JOE will feast on the small asians (basically everyone) but will find out that teams will draw up ridiculous game plans to render him useless (triple team? yes.)

KLO must set out to prove that he is still the #1 balla (that is if he can hang with the self-proclaimed KLO-stopper, RUS. LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL!)

RAY talks a big game and usually backs it up. However, he's like an Allen Iverson: aging, slow, brash, and thinks he's still 20 years old. Face it, RAY will need to play like a veteran and realize that he can't do it all anymore. Just pass the torch to HYN (and the ball) and get out of the way.

WIL looks pretty trim since the last time I saw him. He could be the wildcard this season, but we have to see how he manages over the course of the season. Remember, he finished only 5th in season 3 after being predicted to be unstoppable.

ROG is a ticking timebomb. He might go for long durations without hitting anything (and taking as many questionable shots as myself) but you always have this sick feeling in your stomach that this little dirty sanchez is gonna go off for 12 straight points all by himself. Better shot selection and fg % is key for ROG this season.

MA has all the tools to be a bad-ass, yet he's more of a nice-guy-next-door type of a dude. If it wasn't for his rebounds and blocks, his stock could take a huge fall. C'mon MA, you shot 38% last season. Take out my 3 point attempts and I shot 45%. Don't make me start yelling at you like I did in college. YOU KNOW I WILL!!!

HRB has always been a headscratcher. There are games (documented by film nonetheless) where HRB seems unstoppable. If he puts this same attitude into every game, we might see the second coming of Lebron. He's that good. With that being said, I predict HRB to stumble this season. He'll be too distracted writing love poems to his boo rather than jotting down stats.

MKE is white, so that moves him up in the rankings a bit (unless his name is MAT). He also doesn't call many fouls (like some people in our league.....*MAT*). His ability to drain some 3's should help open up the court for his teammate as well. He's good at fantasy football.

MAT has two season under his belt and seems to be getting better with each game. Will this season be his coming out party? Probably not, but a man can dream, right?!?!

DAN has the dangerous moving screens, the patented skyhook and the uncanny ability to light up RUS for 6+ points every game. A valuable teammate to have.

DAV apparently has been doing the P90X and is in the best shape of his life. To be honest, I don't understand why DAV always falls to the bottom of the rankings as he has the tools to be dominant as well. Let's see if P90X does the trick or if he'll have to upgrade to...INSANITY.

RUS has been going to boxing classes 3-4 times a week, so he should have more stamina, which equals to more strength and endurance (less airballs hopefully). I honestly don't know why I have him ranked anywhere BUT last place...but hey, i'm his housemate and I am supposed to support him. So there, he's ranked #11.
