UWA Panthers (196574) - Brooksy - Calamari - II.2Current Total Salary: $ 270 648Starting 5 Salary: $ 254 034PG: Nicodemo Lallane (8171378) SG: Aris Terzis (12872233) SF: Cheng Wenning (7977266)PF: Jed Feigl (16744545)C: Žoržs Vasjuks (9605858)Key Player: Žoržs Vasjuks (9605858)Might be a solid player in the West but Vasjuks will be hard to contain in the East as he will be the go to main along with Feigl.Prediction: 8th (4-7)With Turnbull being sold, expect the Panthers formerly known as Bringing Sexy Back to have some moolah to shore up that back court. Otherwise have a very strong competitive team in the East.
shepparton shooters (196192) - ezyfrag - Calamari - III.15Current Total Salary: $ 265 124Starting 5 Salary: $ 239 529PG: Adrián Ahuir (7476329) SG: Sébastien Lambert (22059917) SF: Nelson Ratliff (7922366)PF: Xiong Weipeng (18085689)C: Junel Viojan (13434471)Key Player: Junel Viojan (13434471)Already 27 years of age. Seems like forever last time we saw Viojan made a great impact at the U21 level. The star Shepparton Shooters player will be hard to stop inside and also can be a reliable jump shooter. Will be one of the stars to look out for in the East.Prediction: 9th (4-7)The Shooters may be a division III team but be wary that's no division III front court. Back court needs some tinkering to be a dangerous team in the East.
Los Coolfreakz El'Ninios (38642) - Latino Heat - Calamari - IV.23Current Total Salary: $ 55 013Starting 5 Salary: $ 29 883PG: Peni Umaga (25103607) SG: Archie Dougan (25104384) SF: Branko Tirić (25103628)PF: Jerzy Kilijanek (26701707)C: Andrey Glonti (26456961)Key Player: Branko Tirić (25103628)Currently will be lucky to get a bench spot on most of the East teams but will one day be a star without of a doubt. You heard first here!Prediction: 12th (0-11)To get within 50 points for each game will be an accomplishment. Will be faced with some painful losses this season, so the biggest positive to get out of this season in the Fishbowl will be a great learning experience for the kids.
Whompas Donkeys (196389) - Whompa - Calamari - II.1Current Total Salary: $ 284 229Starting 5 Salary: $ 213 885PG: Antônio Luís Escobar (20802070) SG: Ximen Ruying (9261073) SF: Cezar Eusala (18253949)PF: Ignacio Santana (16548818)C: Federico Vino (10880290)Key Player: Federico Vino (10880290)A team of solid players, however Vino commanding the most salary from the Donkeys should also be expected to take the leadership role as one of the elder statesman.Prediction: 10th (4-7)Last minute replacement of one of the Calamari greats Naker Virus. Will certainly won't disappoint as the Whompa Donkeys have a strong team and will fight hard for the Calamaris in the East. Overall the side is very even and an addition of a star or two could turn this team from bottom mid tier to playoffs fighting team.
Gisborne Gladiators (196165) - bainsynator88 - Sharks - II.1Current Total Salary: $ 424 460Starting 5 Salary: $ 354 324PG: Giulio Dimai (19462259) SG: Jarosław Garbos (13624470) SF: Garrie Addison (18085302)PF: Gustaw Fejdasz (6023826)C: Eric Shelden (9890444)Key Player: Eric Shelden (9890444)A Pom to dominate the Fishbowl? Who would have thought! This superstar Pom wasn't getting the dollars he deserved in the English leagues so he decided to come down under to showcase his talents in Australia's best private league.Prediction: 3rd (9-2)The Gladiators aren't going to stop after promoting from division III last season. They are eyeing for an ABBL promotion and will definitely be one of the teams to beat in the East with this mega squad.
Skyhook Dreamers (196148) - Skyhookz - Sharks - II.1Current Total Salary: $ 374 758Starting 5 Salary: $ 347 106PG: Jean-François Courregès (21000240) SG: Viktor Csörgõ (19802932) SF: Ilya Pronin (9584114)PF: Vítor Póvoa (8158778)C: Pepe Rasilla (11852896)Key Player: Pepe Rasilla (11852896)One of the better defending big men to counter inside attacks. Would worry not only the East but West teams as well but is currently on sale. Looks like finally the star big walking out the Dreamers' doors.Prediction: 5th (7-4)An extremely strong starting 5 but after that it completely falls away. A long term injury anywhere could completely dent the Dreamers hopes. Additional depth can turn this side from dark-horse to potential favourites.
Awesome^.- (38856) - Sundae09 - Sharks - II.3Current Total Salary: $ 421 185Starting 5 Salary: $ 297 503PG: Adrian Wills (19609821) SG: Brent Hargrave (4725894) SF: Pedro Manuel Vallesteros (9643286)PF: Muharem Mahmutefendić (13530645)C: Remigio Eduegui (8011345)Key Player: Sid Costello (21093284)Might only be the 6th man on the team but expect him to overtake his team mates and start as the season progresses.Prediction: 4th (7-4)Been stuck in division III for a long time but suddenly after promoting to division II there's new found confidence in the team to aim high and promote to ABBL. Will definitely be one of the East teams to watch out for to take the crown this Fishbowl season.
Home Axis (196319) - Axis123 - Sharks - II.2Current Total Salary: $ 468 586Starting 5 Salary: $ 316 304PG: Leon Boise (6912794) SG: Wang Xinxuan (22175842) SF: Thomas Friedrich Mayriedl (5766859)PF: Brandon Donnellson (6047190)C: Dejan Kuljović (10918386)Key Player: Thomas Friedrich Mayriedl (5766859)One of the few veterans on the team. Love to get inside the paint offensively and defensively but may struggle when facing an opponent outside the paint.Prediction: 1st (10-1)Rounding out the final Sharks in the East is Home Axis. Currently the team is looking to ship players out the door so the team could be completely different near the end of season. But core of the squad is still there so expect this strong club to fight out with his fellow Sharks in the East playoffs.
