Win ’20 Week 6 Power Rankings (Sundays)

2ND DIVISION

⬆️ 1) United Nations (5-1): Five straight wins and the defending champs are back atop the D2 power rankings. (G) Marcus Cook is the presumptive back-to-back M.O.P.

⬆️ 2) Spaghetti Ramen (5-0): Still haven’t played a Top 5 team somehow, but (F) Michael Reding is having a resurgent season as the team’s only resemblance to a big.

⬇️ 3) The Lizards (4-2): Liz have been 4-1 since an embarrassing season opener. With all their depth and size, they’re holding position as a top contender come playoff time.

⬇️ 4) X-Clan (4-2): Despite 1-2 in last three, Clan still dangerous.
⬇️ 5) 50 Shades of Klay (4-2): Each loss by a possession, they’re right there.
⬆️ 6) Raining Rosebuds (1-5): (G) Daren Seto back. Buds a very interesting dark horse now.
⬇️ 7) No Fly Zone (2-4): Veteran unit needs (F) Kieran Brennan to get hot.
⬆️ 8) Thank U, Next (1-5): Looking better lately, need good showing heading into playoffs.
⬇️ 9) Keep That Same Energy (1-5): With all these 3s going up, they need to heat up asap.

3RD DIVISION

🔁 1) OMB (5-1): All seven players on the roster are almost averaging double figures. Anything short of a blowout championship win is an utter failure for this stacked, veteran squad.

⬆️ 2) TAP NY (5-1): With (F) Kenny Liu taking on a progressively bigger role, and (C) Jordan Calhoun coming on, TAP are arguably the hottest team in D3 having won five straight.

⬇️ 3) Swish Cheese (3-2): Big losses to OMB and TAP have been discouraging, but the Swish are still in the championship mix with (F) Michael Clifton emerging as one of D3’s top players.

🔁 4) Bucket Boys (4-2): All the pieces are there, this is your dark horse right here.
🔁 5) Ice In My Veins (4-2): Fun team to watch, (F) Richard Tam low-key M.O.P. nom.
🔁 6) Airballers (2-3): Solid season, but maybe not enough top-end talent to contend.
🔁 7) Ball Is Life (1-4): Losing their big man hurt, Ballers were looking to make a run.
🔁 8) Goon Squad (1-5): Shout out to (C) Raghu Vaidyanathan having a legendary season.
🔁 9) The Handsome Boys (0-6): Tough debut season, but def pieces to work with going fwd.

Win ’20 Mid-Season Power Rankings (Sundays)

2ND DIVISION

⬆️ 1) X-Clan (3-1): Most of D2’s top teams have beaten each other, but only X has wins vs TWO teams in the Top 5. (F) Andre Nixon & (F) Marvin Billups have been a formidable 1-2 punch.

⬆️ 1) The Lizards (3-1): Despite an ugly loss to 50S in their opener, LIZ gets the #2 spot as the only team to beat X-Clan. It’s no coincidence this surge comes with (G) Joe Zenz‘s improved play.

⬇️ 3) 50 Shades of Klay (3-1): Love the small ball and (F) David Herren is putting up First Team #s. Tough defense and four legit scoring threats have Shades looking very strong right now.

🔁 4) Spaghetti Ramen (3-0): Small ball 🔥 but Ws vs teams w/ only 1 combined win.
⬇️ 5) United Nations (3-1): D2 is top heavy this season and it’s about to get tougher.
🔁 6) No Fly Zone (1-3): Inconsistent roster holding them back, but they’re in the mix.
🔁 7) Keep That Same Energy (1-1): (F) Adesoji James balling out. Just need to get hot.
🔁 8) Raining Rosebuds (0-4): Missing a big piece with no (G/F) Daren Seto.
🔁 9) Thank U, Next (0-4): Shooting well enough, but have struggled on D.

3RD DIVISION

🔁 1) OMB (3-1): Their only loss came to a D2 contender, they are otherwise dominating the field. (F) Peter Tsevdos and (F) Isaac Gabel-Frank lead the way.

🔁 2) Swish Cheese (2-1): Wins include a D2 team, and their only loss came to OMB. The Swish are right where they need to be. (F) Michael Clifton is an MVP candidate this season.

⬆️ 3) TAP NY (3-1): Veterans (G) Will Chu and (F) Kenny Liu are about as good a 1-2 combo as you’re gonna find. And (C) Jordan Calhoun appears to be getting his sea legs back, too.

⬇️ 4) Bucket Boys (3-1): Looking very solid, but so far no wins vs any other Top 4 team.
⬆️ 5) Ice In My Veins (2-2): Haven’t beaten a Top 4 team either, but are trending that way.
⬆️ 6) Airballers (2-1): (F) Albert Hei is balling out for undersized AIR. Solid effort all around.
⬆️ 7) Ball Is Life (1-2): Ballers have played well enough, just fallen a little short so far.
⬇️ 8) Goon Squad (0-3): Goonies need consistency in their personnel. The pieces are there.
🔁 9) The Handsome Boys (0-3): (F) Connor Dawson is a beast. Boys are not that far away.

Win ’20 Mid-Season Power Rankings (Weeknights)

1ST DIVISION

🔁 1) Honey Badgers (4-0): The most prolific offense in D1 and sharp-shooter (G) Sammy Merkin (26.8 ppg, 7.3 3pg) looks like he’s just getting started. The kid can fire it up.

🔁 2) NYK Spartans (4-0): They’re top-heavy, but (G) David Chu (23.8 ppg) & (G) Josh Hyon (19.8 ppg) are the best scoring back court in D1. Maybe best starting 5 in D1.

🔁 3) Shut ‘Em Down (3-2): Hit a couple of speed bumps, but this is still a veteran, playoff-tested roster with two legit scorers. They’re not going anywhere.

⬆️ 4) PWC Vino (2-2): (F) Justin Hopton has been huge for VIN’s improved play.
⬆️ 5) Hand Down, Man Down (2-3): Much improved, living their lives 3 pts at a time.
⬇️ 6) Hakuna Matata (1-3): (F) Elijah St. Hilaire and (F) Nalonte Barlow all day.
⬆️ 7) Age Up There (1-3): Will veteran (F) Joe Vines spark the turnaround?
⬇️ 8) C Men (0-4): 5-8 rookie (G) Michael Gatan gets buckets (and cookies).


2ND DIVISION

🔁 1) YOLO (2-0): Holding strong at #1 with the best point differential in D2 and two quality wins vs BBB and SKK. Balanced all-around effort from a physical, defensive-minded team.

⬆️ 2) Gilet Jaunes (3-1): Even with new scorers fronting the band, GIL are right back where they want to be. Stout and versatile defensive front line has been their m.o.

⬆️ 3) Big Bookie Brand (2-1): Making a move with (G) Sammy Merkin percolating.
🔁 4) Shawn Kemp’s Kids (2-2): (G) Donovan Walsh‘s been ice cold, so expect a surge soon.
⬆️ 5) NY Dynasty (2-2): Undersized, but when shooting well, can score with anyone.
⬇️ 6) Premature Shooters (1-3): Premo stumbling, but have the personnel to turn it around.
🔁 7) Dutch Masters (0-3): Dutchy needs scoring, defense has been solid.


3RD DIVISION WEST

⬆️ 1) Spaghetti Ramen (4-0): If you thought MVP (G) Leuis Ng couldn’t get any better, he’s playing at a career-high scoring clip this season at 25.8 ppg with his team at 4-0.

⬇️ 2) Sex Panthers (3-2): Veteran Panthers aren’t always at their best in the regular season, it’s the playoffs where they play their best ball. (F) Dooley Watts return is a welcome addition.

⬆️ 3) Fun Guys (2-2): Balanced roster finding a groove with two straight wins.
⬇️ 4) 30-for-30 (2-2): Scoring has been a bit of a struggle this season.
⬆️ 5) Angry Potatoes (1-2): (G/F) Brian Jeong‘s 29.3 ppg leads all scorers league-wide.
⬇️ 6) NYC Gritty Comm. (1-2): Shade below ANP for loss, but win vs SXP means high ceiling.
⬇️ 7) Smash N Bounce (0-4): Biggest surprise so far, but it’s a very tough field.


3RD DIVISION EAST

🔁 1) Team Texas (5-0): Carrying the division’s deepest and most balanced roster, TEX is dominating the East. The win vs PS1 leaves no doubt Team Texas is the one to beat.

🔁 2) Pnest1 (4-1): Loaded with firepower, PS1 has 4 players who can get you 20 points in any game. (G) Vegas Dave Wong (21.6 ppg) continues to be the best 40+ year-old scorer in the league.

⬆️ 3) Ibaka Flaka Flame (2-2): Tough L to PS1, but two wins before that is promising.
⬇️ 4) Supreme Team (3-1): Lots of perimeter scoring, less interior presence than past teams.
⬇️ 5) Wolverines (2-3): Veteran team hanging in, but inconsistent.
🔁 6) Black & Yellow (1-3): Adding do-it-all (G) Kali Pearson could make things interesting.


THE OCHO

🔁 1) Ramen & Meatballs (3-1): No surprise here, this veteran team should be everyone’s favorite to win The Ocho. Balanced all-around roster with very solid depth.

🔁 2) The Renegades (2-1): Like SPR above, the Rens’ only loss has been to a D3 team so far. Big, physical team that should out-rebound all others, but 3-pt shooting has been a weakness.

🔁 3) Satriale’s (2-1): Solid so far, will find out shortly where they stand vs the Top 2.
🔁 4) NY Bricks (1-3): (F/C) Jake Reichel’s voracity for rebounding is a new dimention to BRI.
🔁 5) Cash Considerations (0-3): Roster consistency always an issue, but the core is solid.
🔁 6) Space Jam 3 (0-5): Tough season for the Jam but (F) Garrett Gabianelli has been 💪.
