Pre Season Power Rankings

1. Team Stewart

Clearly one of the strongest teams in the league, Stewart will be bringing the leadership of Quintin and Joey combined with a solid squad. They have other good scoring options as well. Athleticism is definitely this teams strong suit and could very well force the pace of the game to be very fast.

2. Team Saraceno

Saraceno can be really good this year. This team has maybe the best coaching in the league. Great strategy with Nick Freiter as a first round pick. They have lots of good potential in their players, it’s just whether they will play well together or not. If some players can step up and be a threat from behind the arc, Saraceno will be a well rounded team who will win many of their match ups.

3. #TeamDave

Great all around team. They have lots of skill in many different areas. Bailey and Hilbrunner can control the paint, while Murphy and Marken can take the ball up (as well as hit crucial threes when they’re on their game). Dean McCann and Pete Aumeis will come in great handy for the point guards, for they both know how to play and are smart with the ball. 

4. Team Mahan

Height? Yes. Ball handlers? Decent. Shooting? Maybe.With number two draft pick Austin Hourani teaming with the Hubers and Ben Lutkevitch, they are going to be a force under the hoop. Good passing will lead to good point scoring. However, Austin cannot be the only factor to this team. Ben Lutkevich has great potential to add to the team, and both the Pangs can shoot the lights out when they are hot. Team Mahan will dominate the boards with the Huber brothers and Austin, and their team’s veteran status will hopefully lead Team Mahan to their best season yet.

5. Team Deluca 

With debatably the best coaching in the league, this is a good all-around team with very solid depth. Myles and Nolan had great seasons last year and if they repeat that and other players step up to help produce some offense this team could be tough to beat.

6. Team Gingras

Definitely a sleeper team for the league. This team may be young and lack height, they will win with their ability to dominate offense and play a tenacious defense. If they can shut down they drive, they will be extremely successful this year. Great coaching with their ability to draft the way they did. This team will go far in the playoffs.

7. Team Walsh

Team Walsh needs to play a tight defense, for they lack a lot of good shooters. Brogan can play point while Kevin sinks threes. It is up to the coaches’ later round picks to contribute to the offensive game and make shots. They have some serious sleepers on their team.

8. Team Bonnett

If this team works well enough, they have great potential. Dan Mcguinness is going to have to dominate the game and become the leading point scorer, and the young guns of the team may have to step up to provide some support for the seniors. 

9. Team Tranfaglia

Zach Cotoni has to have a big year for this team. Tyler Belanger will contribute his part on offense, and with tight defense, they have good chances to win games this year. It is all up to later round picks to make plays on the court. 

10. Team Dorff

Although they may have some height on their side, Dick Dorff’s squad lacks the depth necessary for rec ball success. They will be good under the hoop on offense and defense, but that will not be enough. They lack a dominant scorer who can maintain a lead, and Bryce is going to need to put up numbers. Team Dorff may be a sleeper, but I need proof.

11. Team Werner

Team Werner is extremely young. It seems like they have good chemistry with nine sophomores, which can hopefully translate to some good basketball. However, this may not be enough to beat the more veteran teams.

12. Team Kidger

With no seniors, Team Kidger lacks the bench depth to keep a lead. Yanchencko is going to have to be money with the ball and consistent from the 3 point line if they hope to keep it close. If they want to have a successful season, all of their players are going to have to make some big plays and put up some big numbers.
