| The Dutch League starts as balanced as it has been in recent seasons, with a good number of teams trying to dethrone defending champion MyGuide Amsterdam. Even with that, Amsterdam counts on CC Harrison, Teddy Gipson and Peter van Paassen to stay as the team to beat in the country. Its main rivals will be EiffelTowers Den Bosch, that won consecutive league titles in 2006 and 2007. EiffelTowers kept a core of players featuring Dean Oliver, Travis Young, Kees Akerboom or Marcel Aarts while adding Jerome Beasley or Anthony Richardson. West Brabant Giants, Matrixx Magixx, Rotterdam Challengers and Hanzevast Capitals are ready to upset any of the Dutch powerhouses. Patrick Pope and Tim Blue are set to lead the Giants this season, while the Capitals rely on Rogier Jansen and Zoran Krstanovic. Matrixx Magixx features Ryan Sears, Erik Nelson and Darnell Wilson while the Challengers rely on Sullivan Sykes and Aaron Williams. |
