Now that the Drago Derby has wrapped up for 2019, it’s time to take a look at their conferences and see how they should do this year. Before the season, both Dragomirov brothers were projected to finish
near the bottom of their conferences. Have their non-conference games changed the projections?
Standings
Just like both brothers were predicted to be second-from-the-bottom, they now find themselves 4
th in their conferences as they get set to kick off their conference play.

Leaders
So far in non-conference play, the expected players and teams have been the ones performing well.
Armond See and
Maarty Pinkalla are leading the NEC and Big Sky in scoring, and their teams look very strong heading into conference play.
Dinko’s team and players aren’t leading in any categories, but Oggy has two things to be proud of:
- His team is leading the Big Sky in assists per game, showing how well they move the ball
- SF Andres Swanson is leading the conference in field goal percentage, showing his finishing ability and wisdom when it comes to taking shots.
