In a crossover effort to prepare for the upcoming season, I spoke with Greg Melo of Liberty Ballers to get some perspective from “behind rivalry lines.” We kept it civil and in this part of our discussion, we discussed the prospects of both teams and where we see them ending the years. The second part of our discussion can be found on Liberty Ballers.
(Note: This was written before the news that rookie Zhaire Smith had suffered a Jones fracture for which he has since had surgery, likely holding him out for most of the upcoming season.
