The BIG3 is almost here. Sunday’s draft was the latest step in the launch of Ice Cube’s exciting 3-on-3 basketball league, filled with former NBA players who desperately want to prove they can still play.

With almost two months to go before the first games, the draft gave us the eight rosters that will spend time practicing together and figuring out how best to take on this eight-week schedule. Because so many of these guys are so far removed from their playing days, it’s not easy to figure out which teams to respect. Most of these players have dealt with injuries, and most of them are a year or two removed from their last games at any level as pros.

Still, the BIG3 takes itself seriously. That much is clear whether talking to its players, coaches or Ice Cube himself. Prospective players were put through a pre-draft combine to prove they’ve still got it, and team captains made their draft picks only after carefully measuring who best can contribute. Not all the names will be familiar to all-but hard-core basketball fans, but they all can play.

We’re not really going to know much until the season opens (June 25 at Barclays Center). The games will be televised Monday nights on Fox Sports 1, and we should be able to tell immediately who’s in shape and who’s not. But for now, For The Win breaks down and ranks the eight teams with all available information:

1. Killer 3’s

Roster: Chauncey Billups, Stephen Jackson, Reggie Evans, Larry Hughes, Brian Cook, Charles Oakley (player/coach)

Breakdown: This team is just stacked. Billups and Jackson — who absolutely should be the BIG3 MVP favorite — are less removed from their NBA playing days than most of the captains. The role players are perfect fits, too: Evans should grab every available rebound, Hughes at his best was a defensive force with offensive versatility, and Cook can knock down an open shot and is 6-10. Oakley may not even need to lean on being a player coach, though he seems like a guarantee to play in New York City.

2. 3 Headed Monsters

Roster: Rashard Lewis, Jason Williams, Kwame Brown, Eddie Basden, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, Gary Payton (coach)

Breakdown: The captains here are tremendous: Lewis is 6-10 with a smooth jumper, while “White Chocolate” is the best passer around. The rest of the roster is more curious. Brown’s mostly known as an NBA bust, while Basden played 19 NBA games in 2006. The main hope here is that Abdul-Rauf still has it — or that Payton, only a year older than Abdul-Rauf, decides to lace them up himself.

3. Ball Hogs

Roster: Brian Scalabrine, Josh Childress, Derrick Byars, Rasual Butler, Dominic McGuire, Rick Barry (coach)

Breakdown: No team embraced the 3- and 4-pointer as much as this one. Byars and Butler are sharpshooters who should have no problem extending their range to that special 4-point line. On top of that, McGuire (31), Byars (33) and Childress (33) make this one of the youngest teams, with no players over 40. However, they don’t have any true point guards or centers. Can position-less basketball win in the BIG3?

4. Tri-State

Roster: Jermaine O’Neal, Bonzi Wells, Xavier Silas, Lee Nailon, Mike James, Julius Erving (coach)

Breakdown: Silas (29) is the youngest player in the league. Captains O’Neal and Wells were old teammates on the Trail Blazers and ensure a strong post presence. Nailon’s versatile, and Dr. J is the greatest player involved in this league — and can still dunk, if they ever need him to lace up. But the most exciting player here is James, the 41-year-old NBA vet who was an absolute stud in the NBA Development League in 2014-15 despite no call-up. He’s always ready to play and might be the best point guard in the BIG3.

5. Power

Roster: Corey Maggette, Cuttino Mobley, Jerome Williams, DeShawn Stevenson, Moochie Norris, Clyde Drexler (coach)

Breakdown: The team with the most boring name has all the coolest names: “Cat,” “Junkyard Dog,” “Moochie,” “The Glide.” Plus Stevenson’s Abraham Lincoln neck tattoo. This is the best cast of characters of any team in the league, unless you believe Allen Iverson automatically wins that contest. But the chemistry is there, too. If Maggette and Stevenson are hitting their 3s, this should be a dangerous squad. The big question mark is how 43-year-old Williams handles being the lone big man.

6. Trilogy

Roster: Kenyon Martin, Al Harrington, Rashad McCants, James White, Dion Glover, Rick Mahorn (coach)

Breakdown: McCants was the first pick of the draft, and the hype suggests he’s in great shape and has added to the already-solid range on his jumper. Martin and Harrington are as good a big-man combo as any team has, so focusing on perimeter players made sense. But they didn’t take any lead ballhandlers, and Glover is 12 years removed from his NBA days. This team is going to lean on size and athleticism.

7. 3’s Company

Roster: Allen Iverson (player/coach), DerMarr Johnson, Andre Owens, Mike Sweetney, Ruben Patterson

Breakdown: There’s no doubt that Iverson is the star of the BIG3, but he’s 41, and his team leaves a lot to be desired. Johnson was a promising prospect in the early 2000s who suffered an awful neck injury at age 22 and never fully recovered. Owens had a short run in the NBA but was a longtime European player. Sweetney was a Knicks draft bust who found success overseas as well. Patterson’s the X factor here, as the 41-year-old former “Kobe Stopper” has the right type of toughness and skill to be a good player in this league.

8. Ghost Ballers

Roster: Mike Bibby, Ricky Davis, Mo Evans, Marcus Banks, Ivan Johnson, George Gervin (coach)

Breakdown: We know what we’re getting from Bibby and Evans, two consummate pros who will provide stabilizing hands. The question marks come with the other three players. Banks was one of the most athletic point guards (despite a lack of skill) ever but is 35. Johnson is aggressive inside to the point that he’s been banned from at least one league. Then there’s Davis, the man who once thought the Cavaliers had drafted LeBron James to complement him. If Davis has any of his scoring sizzle left at 37, this team should be fun, at the least.
