I still think they are one Solid Big guy away from the Finals, but I don't think either of the top two seeds will want to play them.

Right now based on eye test, I think the rankings of the teams in my opinion are:
1) Hitech Bangkok - Reigning MVP Chris Charles one half of the Twin towers and 2 strong asean imports make it a hard team to beat. The local Kannawat is also a pesky defender and good playmaker.
2) Westport Malaysia - Again the import game is strong, locals might not be that skilled but they have height which can create some mismatches. This is a run and gun team, fun team to watch.
3) Pilipinas Aguilas - Have experience and AZ Reid, but lack of height will be an obstacle. The ex-pba players might be good before but right now they are pretty washed up.
4) Singapore Slingers - Imports are strong and locals are playing quite good. Leon Kwek is impressive. Wei Long local MVP will probably start raining 3's later in the season.
5) Saigon Heat - Haven't see Nguyen play yet, as an import Moses Morgan hasn't step up yet. I think the starters have potential and can be really good given some time, but bench is probably weakest in the ABL.
6) Mono Vampires - I think this team with only 2 imports will make it the weakest team. Don't get me wrong, they are competitive but the rest of the teams are just better. I think they have a lack of scoring options. Mcclain is the go to guy, Kruatiwa is a great shooter but other then that not much options unlike for e.g the Dragons where any 4 of the imports can just go on a scoring spree. Okolie isn't a good fit, they should get another scoring big.

I predict Hitech to win at home probably, they are on a mission and they have the championship experience, though my heart supports the slingers.
