That's a good question. I usually like to look at the average salaries of like the top 8 players on someone's team.

Rhino's Rage coming down from the NBBA has the highest average top 8 player salary by far at almost 90k.

Then it's Finisher23, Coolness Factor, Kirkwood Hawks, BU Terriers, and Alaska Alphas all above 50k. Salary isn't the end-all-be-all of course, but those are probably some teams to watch.

I'm very curious if Rhino's Rage is going to sell off a few players or just run a salary deficit all season to promote back to NBBA.

Alaska Alphas has some great USA guards, without fully scouting all of the teams I think they've got the 2nd best squad after Rhino.

Will be fun to see how standings start to shape up after the first 7 games or so

I’m fairly certain my team isn’t as good as my salaries would suggest. But I guess we will find out. I only lasted 1 season my last time in D2.

I'm pretty sure this is my first time at this level, so I have no idea what I'm in for. Was very pleased at winning the first game by a clutch buzzerbeater though. That was pretty hype to watch.

I don't expect to do too well, but if I can survive a relegation series, that would be great. First step is to see how much money I'll be drawing in each week at this level and then I may buy some new players if I have some wiggle room. If I start losing too many games, I might invest money in scouting instead of players and take advantage of the draft spot. We'll see

Thanks! I’m pretty happy with how my team has come together. I’ve trained three of my guards from scratch and love the way they’re shaping up. This season may be NBBA or bust for me, I’m gonna keep training these guys up and they’ll probably be too expensive to sustain in D2 without making some changes next season. Rhino's Rage scares me though, I’m really hoping he moves some pieces over the course of the season.

Are you actually from Alaska? I’ve been there twice. Loved it there. It was summer thou, I dont know if I could survive the winters.

No I’m not haha I’ve never even been. Think when I was making my team I just thought it would be fun and unique since there’s no pro sports teams there.

I am very familiar with the trainees forcing a promote or rebuild moment. That was the end of last season for me and (obviously) I didn’t promote, so I’m living with the consequences right now.

An interesting wrinkle in DII is the NBBA team that relegates. If they are keen on returning I believe the gap between DII and NBBA is generally (on average) higher than DII to DIII. If they can sustain that salary then oh boy, that's a behemoth. But I think that they moved at least one piece already.

Any guesses as to which conference is stronger before the crossover games begin on Tuesday?

Overall I gotta go Big 8. If Alaska Alphas are sitting in 4th I know it's a strong division.
