Subject: preview and predicted finish for Walter Tigers and Iceline Karlsruhe

previews and predictions on Brian Jones' and Jens-Uwe Gordon's teams

by Moritz Korff (with edits by dent)

Walter Tigers Tübingen
Kevin Burleson and Brian Jones were the top guards in the 2. Bundesliga (German 2nd division) last year (BJ's team finished 1st in 2. Bundesliga South last year which entitled the team to move up to the 1st division). Both will make impact in the BBL (1. Bundesliga - German 1st division) as well. To add experience new head coach Patrick Elzie decided to sign Brian Clifford and former German National Team center Tim Nees, who will miss the start because of injury. The youngsters Andreas Worenz and Jimmy James will get playing time, as well as Reggie Okosa, another option for the center/power forward-spot.
Prediction: The Tigers will stay in the 1. Bundesliga (the bottom 2 finishers drop down to the 2nd division) and finish 10 to 14 place (out of 16).

Iceline Karlsruhe
Eight players left, eight new were signed. Nosa Obasuyi should be a better center than Pavel Frana, the new US-boys Derrick Allen, Domonic Jones and his backup Tom McChesney ill play in Europe for the first time, but will strengthen Karlsruhe. Also veteran Jens-Uwe Gordon can become an important role player at the 4 or 5.
Prediction: Iceline should be around last season's 10th place finish, but the playoffs seem out of reach (top 8 places).
