Pekanbaru Jaguars - SGP Rank 2
After few seasons of failure, including heartbreaker loss 2 seasons ago, Jaguars finally able to secure S16 SBBL champions after defeating Sessioes Doers in two games.
Still remain unchanged lineup brought from S16, Season 17 Jaguars will see more balanced team, as Tommy Kupila (18.1ppg 5.2apg last season) and Zhong Xuanwen (13.5ppg last season) seems able to take some load from Petrus Alexandersson (18.9ppg 18.3rpg last season). And with two of their most improved young player, Li An Wen, expect Jaguar to play more big lineup.
Huo Xiang Song (14ppg 13rpg), the Jaguar most hardworking player, is expected to have a breakout season, as he was just called by NT, and this should boost the young man confidence.
The concern? The "Finnish Finisher", Tommy Kupila and Petrus Alexandersson are 30 years old this season, means their performance will be a question mark start on next season. Seki Skrebo is near his retirement, and Huo Xiang Song still too young to carry the team.
Prediction : Top 4 spot. With SLZH and Compassvale sneak into SBBL, and Fat-A improving, it's hard to see Jaguars securing top spot again, considering they're also playing on National Tournament, and they have to keep fit for B3 games.
