Season 16 - Who's hot... Who's not....
Skyrocketing :
Sessioes Doers (Rank 3)
Established their presence as a contender again for second straight season. The Singapore's third best team is no joke. SD's lineups are young and deep of reserve players that are always hungry to play. Still led by Ricardo Paz (23ppg) and Phil "Bill Laimberr" Hanson (17ppg 12rpg). Balkhausen is still solid at the middle (12ppg 11rpg 3bpg). The only setback of this team is they will need more veteran presence to finish out games, as per their defeat from SLZH from the Final Tournament this season, and the meltdown on last season playoff vs Shohoku Backers.
Singapore Showstoppers (Rank 6)
You are right. SS is now sitting at Big 8 first spot. The presence of Noel Lima (14ppg 11rpg) has toughen up their inside presence, and it result only two defeat so far. Edmundo Cabral led the team in scoring with 17ppg, Followed by Pedro Pineda 16ppg, 13rpg, 3.7apg & 1.7bpg. The real test will come when they finish their Great 8 trip, back to the schedule of Big 8 teams to face Shohoku Backers, Whampoa Allstars, revamped Eric United and stronger Lycans BB.
SLZH (Rank 10)
Nobody would care about SLZH at beginning of season, but the whole Singapore BB were shocked as SLZH ousted the top 5 SBBL team at tournament, for their way for their 1st ever championship. Led by Italian Don Steri (31ppg) and Hungarian's Bela Gorboi (21ppg), these troops are unstoppable offensively. And they also have a steady floor general in Eldegez Abilov (15ppg 5ast), who work at best with Leandro Perrone (14ppg 12rpg) on pick and roll. Romeo Laigre (12ppg 9rpg), the Tournament Final MVP, is a tough nose defender. It will be interesting to see how SLZH will fight their way to SBBL again, as they have to leap over the Slinger team and SingSing from their Division.
