Well here goes my prediction for the Big 8 of League IV.5, with the Great 8 up next..
1. Halifax Cavaliers - Led by three stars, including fringe U21 prospect from last season in Richard Azuaje, they look to be tough to stop in a very well balanced division.
2. Breckenridge Tigers - With two great big men to man their front court, no other team in the division looks to have the defense to stop them, and with great balance, they should challenge the Halifax Cavaliers for the #1 seed.
3. Miami Heaterz - A few stars, but not great depth. In the second tier of teams in the division, after Halifax and Breckenridge.
4. TheDragons - A great big man, but lacks the star power after that. With great depth though, they should challenge for the #3 seed.
5. Da Cavs - A few good big men, but not much after that. Way below the four playoff teams, needs another player or two to have a chance to compete.
6. Bryant Bobcats - One good big man, but really no star power or depth after that. Not a great overall team.
7. Sterling Warriors - Once again not a great team, looks to relegate with no stars or depth.
8. chicago lizards - Will probably go bot in a week or 2, so should not put up much of a fight this season.
