 KCC was in danger of collapse. Last year KCC manager picked up the biggest center(221cm) in the league through rookie draft. And KCC already had the old biggest center(207cm) in the league. So experts anticipated that KCC will conquer the league in this season with their strongest inside. But a very serious conflict broke out. Two centers complained that they should divide the play time. Eventually the old big man moved the team. But in the time, the rookie big man got injured and he couldn’t play for a month. And the team fell down to the floor. But the crisis was another chance to rebuild the team. Another rookie guard was traded with the old big man to KCC and he has a very good genuine and give new energy to the team. Because of two big mans, the KCC speed was very slow, but since he joined the speed of team was changed very fast. And then the team record began skyrocketing. And the biggest rookie big man joined from his injury, So now KCC has the speed and height.

 On the other hand, SK has several good shooters and PG. they can’t make good chemical effect yet. And recently they clash into another bad news. One of their foreign players was arrested due to smoking marijuana. So a new foreign player joined to the team, but his ability doesn’t look so impressive.

 As a result, I expect that KCC can beat SK over -3.5
