Fall ’18 Week 7 Power Rankings (Premier)
PREMIER DIVISION
1) [=] NY DREAM (5-0)
SCOUTING REPORT: Still the deepest, most talented team in the Premier Division. It’s just a matter of who they get playoff eligible at this point. This team is a behemoth and it would be a real upset if they don’t take the chip this season.
2) [=] WE HAD GAME (5-1)
SCOUTING REPORT: DRE is in a tier of their own, but the best of the rest is led by WHG. (G) Michael Springer, (G) Richard Shea and (G/F) Tim Bayus have been a potent perimeter scoring trio this season, and their front-line is as savvy and reliable as ever.
3) [+2] GET THE STRAP (3-2)
SCOUTING REPORT: GTS has a win vs WHG, but they had 6-9 (C) Anthony Cox for that game. It’s the only game in which he’s played. They’ll need to get him playoff eligible to really challenge for the title. Rookie (G) Marquis Johnson has emerged as one of the league’s top scoring guards.
4) [=] FREE AGENTS (3-3)
SCOUTING REPORT: FAS bolstered their line-up with (F) Luke Apfeld and (G) Nate Karnovsky. They add depth to an already solid Agents team and Apfeld is a top-end, versatile scorer at 6-7 with a NCAA D-I pedigree. FAS may be contenders now.
5) [-2] NYK SPARTANS (2-3)
SCOUTING REPORT: The core has been solid for the Spartans, but they’ve missed out on a couple of very winnable opportunities. Like PNL just below them, they have to win to guarantee their playoff spot, but both their remaining opponents are in the Top 3.
6) [=] PEACE & LOVE (2-3): PNL controls their own fate. Win out and they’re in. No easy feat, but a path of less resistance than SPA.
7) [=] GAME 7 (2-4): GA7 (C) Noah Levine has been balling out, but Game 7 have just one more chance to clinch playoffs, a must win vs PNL.
8) [=] PACIFIC (0-6): The Premier first-timers will likely finish the season win-less. Tough season with inconsistent attendance.
Fall ’18 Week 7 Power Rankings (D1 WN)
1ST DIVISION WEEKNIGHTS
1) STICKY’S FINGER JOINT (3-1)
SCOUTING REPORT: Sticky’s is undersized to be sure, but they are faster than you and come at you at full speed. (G/F) Aliou Cisse is D1’s leading scorer at 26.3 ppg, and both (G) Jon Harary and (G) Stephen Turner are Top 5 in steals per game. SFJ frustrates you on both sides of the ball.
2) SHUT ‘EM DOWN (4-1)
SCOUTING REPORT: SED took a narrow loss to SFJ since the last rankings, but they still have a top end scorer in (G) Courteney Tabron and a balanced all-around line-up. Shut ‘Em Down plays an aggressive style defense that wears you down over the course of four quarters.
3) [=] PREMATURE SHOOTERS (3-2)
SCOUTING REPORT: Shooters will hold their #3 spot despite a loss to VIN last week. They didn’t have their starting back court which has been averaging 43.2 ppg combined this season. If they have all their pieces on the floor, this team is still a contender.
4) [+2] PWC VINO (3-2)
SCOUTING REPORT: Three consecutive wins is impressive, but if they can put up a good showing against SFJ and close out with a win over DDD, we’ll be ready to consider VIN a dark horse. VIN have found balanced scoring, and getting play-maker (G) Dain Scheibel back is already paying off.
5) [=] HONEY BADGERS (2-3)
SCOUTING REPORT: It almost doesn’t matter what their regular season record is, the defending champs can beat any team, any time. But they can also lose any time as well, just not often in the playoffs. Much of that depends on (F) Michael Reding, which has seemed to get on track lately.
6) [-3] THE OLD GUYS (3-3): Tepid finish, but should be good for playoffs where they’ll be tough.
7) [+1] TRIPLE D (1-4): Not mathematically out of it, but need wins and a little luck. Pieces are there.
8) [-1] YOLO (1-4): Same as above, but YOL has struggled to find consistent offense this season.

2ND DIVISION WEEKNIGHTS
1) [=] SWISH KEBABS (4-1)
SCOUTING REPORT: The Kebabs took a short-handed loss playing with subs last week so we’ll give them a pass on that one. The key to finishing out their regular season will be getting key players like (G/F) Stefan Cheplick and (F) Brian Law playoff eligible.
2) [=] UNITED NATIONS (4-1)
SCOUTING REPORT: Nations bounced back from a loss to UBC with a win over a short-handed FAS team. Regardless, new pieces have given UNN signs of life. (G) Anish Baweja gives them a creator and quickness at the point they haven’t had in past seasons.
3) [=] NYC GRITTY COMMITTEE (4-1)
SCOUTING REPORT: Still no clue who is actually on this roster, but they’ll get to play UNN this week to vie for the #2 spot. Unless SWK loses again, they’ve pretty much locked up #1. Gritty will be contending for a championship regardless of where they finish here.
4) [=] BIG BOOKIE BRAND (4-2)
SCOUTING REPORT: Bookie bounced back from a couple of tough, unexpected performances to beat UBC last night. That should keep them in the Top 4 for the regular season. The post-season will be a challenge, but they have D2’s most explosive scorer in (G) Sammy Merkin.
5) [=] UNCLE BOUGHT A COW (3-3)
SCOUTING REPORT: No movement in the Top 5 for D2 with the Uncles staying at .500. They have four double-digit scorers, which is great, but nobody particularly explosive. And the defense hasn’t been as strong as past UBC teams. Hard to say how UBC will fare in the post-season.
6) [=] HB TRIBE (2-3): Tribe needs to finish strong and the add of (F) Sherwin Salar should help.
7) [=] FREE AGENTS (2-3): This is a huge front-line, but attendance has made them inconsistent.
8) [=] SPACE JAM (2-3): Tough season for the veteran squad, attendance an issue here, too.
9) [=] SUPREME TEAM (1-4): They got a must-win over SWK, they gotta keep it going now.
10) [=] THE UNIT (0-5): If UNT wins out, they might have a chance if we get some 3- or 4-way ties.
