Way Too Early 2026 Projections

The draft hasn't happened. The schedule doesn't exist. None of this matters. Here's what we think anyway.

๐Ÿ‘‘
HOPE IS COMING STAYS DANGEROUS

Three rings, a .601 all-time win percentage, and a 75% playoff appearance rate โ€” the highest in the league alongside Bed Time. Hope is Coming has made the postseason in 9 of 12 seasons including three straight, and has finished 9-5 or better in four of the last five. There's no reason to think the machine slows down โ€” this is the most consistent team in the league, and now they're playing with house money.

๐Ÿ”ฅ
KRAEMERICA'S YEAR? THE TALENT IS THERE

Back-to-back 10-4 seasons. League-best 134 PPG in 2025. After missing the playoffs four of his first five years in the league, Kraemerica has made the postseason in three straight โ€” and five of the last six. At some point, the regular season dominance has to translate to a playoff run. The question isn't if, it's when.

๐Ÿ“ˆ
ZADDY IS ON THE RISE

Back-to-back top 4 finishes (10-4 in 2024, 9-5 in 2025) and a current two-year playoff streak after years of inconsistency. Zaddy has made the postseason just 5 of 12 seasons historically, but the recent trajectory is unmistakable โ€” scoring 115+ PPG in each of the last two seasons. If this is the start of a new era, a deep playoff run feels inevitable.

๐ŸŽฒ
FELLOWSHIP: NEVER COUNT THEM OUT

Two titles, two other championship game appearances, and a 67% playoff rate โ€” tied for 3rd best in the league. Fellowship is riding a three-year playoff streak after missing three straight from 2021-2022. They went 2-12 in 2022 and were playing in the title game a year later. They led the league in scoring in 2024 at 136.3 PPG. When it clicks, nobody rides momentum like Fellowship.

โšก
BRUISERS COULD SURPRISE

A quiet 9-5 season in 2025 snapped a four-year playoff drought and was Bruisers' best finish in years. Historically, playoffs have been hard to come by โ€” just 4 appearances in 12 seasons (33%). But with two runner-up finishes on the rรฉsumรฉ (2017, 2019), Bruisers knows how to get to the doorstep when they get in. The next step is kicking the door down.

๐ŸŒถ๏ธ
HOT TAKE
BED TIME ISN'T DONE

A 7-7 return in 2025 after four years away? That's called shaking off rust โ€” and he still made the playoffs. Bed Time has a 75% playoff rate, the best all-time win percentage (.610), and has gone 12-1 and 11-2 in past seasons. He's made the postseason in six of eight career seasons. With a full offseason of preparation and a chip on his shoulder from watching Hope is Coming tie his ring count, don't be shocked if the league's most decorated winner comes out swinging.

๐ŸŒถ๏ธ
HOT TAKE
BRIDGE FOUR BREAKS THE CURSE IN 2026

Hear us out. Bridge Four has scored 119+ PPG in three of the last five seasons โ€” that's championship-caliber firepower. Yes, they're in a four-year playoff drought, the longest active streak in the league. But they once made four straight postseasons (2014-2017) including a 10-3 runner-up finish in 2016. The schedule luck has to turn eventually, and when it does, this is a team built to make noise. First ring incoming? We're calling it.

๐Ÿ‘€
CKWADE: ALWAYS A BRIDESMAID?

Six playoff appearances including a four-year streak from 2020-2023, two 2nd place finishes, and consistent 115+ PPG scoring. Ckwade has been knocking on the door for years. The current two-year playoff drought is a blip for a team with a 50% career postseason rate. It's just a matter of putting a full run together. This could easily be the year everything finally clicks.

๐Ÿบ
WOLFHOUNDS: THE DEFENDING CHAMP RELOADS

Don't let the 6-8 regular season in 2025 fool you โ€” Wolfhounds won the whole thing just one year earlier in 2024, and posted a 128.7 PPG campaign in 2023. With two rings, a 50% career playoff rate, and a three-year playoff streak from 2017-2019, Wolfhounds has proven they can string together runs. One missed postseason doesn't erase a championship pedigree. A bounce-back feels overdue.

๐Ÿ€
SCALABRINE: TWO-TIME CHAMP WITH UPSIDE

A 6-8 record in 2025 masks the fact that Scalabrine scored 120.1 PPG โ€” the 4th highest mark in the league. This is a two-time champion with a 67% career playoff rate and a league-best six consecutive playoff appearances from 2017-2022. The scoring is still elite. One year outside the postseason is nothing for a team with this kind of track record โ€” expect a swift return.

๐Ÿ 
HOUSE OF WENKE: A SLEEPING GIANT

House of Wenke holds the single-season scoring record at 137.1 PPG (2018) and made the championship game in 2024. The 33% playoff rate is the lowest among current owners, but that makes the peaks even more dramatic โ€” when House of Wenke gets in, they go deep. The one ring from 2016 proves they can close, and a draft-day heater could change everything in a hurry.

๐Ÿ’ช
HAHA: THE BOOM-OR-BUST WILDCARD

Nobody in the league swings harder than HaHa. A 12-2 season in 2022 โ€” the second best record in league history โ€” followed by a 9-5 playoff campaign in 2023. The two-year drought since then stings, but HaHa has made the postseason 5 times in 12 seasons and has proven the ceiling is as high as anyone's. With the right draft, this team can go from outside looking in to legitimate contender faster than any other roster in the league.

Predictions are worth exactly what you paid for them. See you on draft day.
