PFOL 3 Season Preview

Tomorrow tips off season 3 of PFOL. All of the teams have selected their names for this season and the rosters have been finalized. The latest addition saw the Patriot League Bombers acquiring rookie free agent Rob Laycock. Scouts have compared Laycock to Rajon Rondo without the jump shot or passing ability.

Team 1 is now 3-Peat
Team 2 is now Patriot League Bombers
Team 3 is now Forecasted Showers
Team 4 is now Baston Jacks

3-Peat (Prediction 4-5)
3-Peat returns three starters from last year’s championship team and should be a well balanced team with the shooting and leadership of Richie Smith, the rebounding and defense of Vance Catlin to go along with the athletic play of Kyle Krol. Their biggest weakness will be team chemistry as Jake Vernon has already informed Alex Montagano and Kyle Krol that they are role players and they are never to shoot the ball.

Patriot League Bombers (Prediction 6-3)
This team is loaded with talent. John Griffin, a leading candidate for Rookie of Year will bring his deadly outside shooting and team up with a host of athletes including fellow rookie Graham Nueburger, Dave Neff and Brian Stutzman. Veterans Greg Smith and Thorpe Miller will look to bring some proven leadership to a very young but powerful team. “When all the dust settles people will look at this team the same way they look at the Miami Heat”, said Dave Neff.

Forecasted Showers (Prediction 3-6)
Forecasted Showers features a very hungry and determined Edmound Elzy (aka Tracy McGrady). Despite being one of the best players in PFOL history, Elzy’s teams have underachieved in the playoffs. This year they add some shooting and quickness as Bob Herzog and Jason Rost look remove the black cloud that hangs over this franchise. Still experts doubt that this team will be anything more than a one-and-done team in the playoffs. One team owner who wished to remain anonymous even questioned their team name. “Forecasted Showers? Are you serious? Who are their shooters? I only count two -Elzy and Herzog. A better name would have been Scattered Showers”.

Baston Jacks (Prediction 5-4)
If healthy and in shape, this team might be favored to win the title. Teaming up one of the league's better players in Pat Sullivan with Alan Mowrey, Jason McGuinness and Troy Brokl was one of the better off season moves by Baston Jacks’ GM and Owner, Alan Mowrey. Add to that the physical play of Sam Elmore and Chris Melby this team will be hard to beat. A huge question mark for the Baston Jacks will be if Andrew Boehner can return from an injury-ridden PFOL 2 season and if Peter Dinwiddie can get a hall pass from David Morway more than 2 times this season. If they have a healthy Boehner and Dinwiddie is able to play, this team will be a force. “We can play any style you want. We can run, we can slow it down, and we can bang, we can shoot” said Troy Brokl.
