Fall ’17 Week 5 Power Rankings (All Sunday Divisions)

1ST DIVISION (SUNDAYS)

Rank Team Record Comments
1 (=) LMA
 4-1 LACE’O MY ASO retains the #1 spot with (F) Mark Promax playing solid ball for the team. (G/F) Matt Birtwell hasn’t shot particularly well, but his hustle and tough work on the glass has set the tone for an LMA team that is getting a balanced attack from up and down the roster.
2 (=) DOR 3-1 DORIS FROM REGO PARK (G) David Weiss and (G/F) Jacob Leizman are as good a 1-2 punch as any in D1, and it certainly seems like Weiss is back to MVP form. (F/C) Jordan Calhoun has played only two games, which is something to watch, they’ll need him to compete for a title.
3 (=) SKW
 2-1 Usually an undersized team, SK WAR DOG now has one a formidable defensive front-line led by (C) A.K. Tewary‘s 4 bpg. (G) Vegas Dave Wong and (G) Kash Miah combine for a ludicrous 50.8 ppg, and now their bigs allow them to be even more aggressive getting up the court. 
4 (=) PIP
 2-3 After winning two straight, PIPPEN AIN’T EASY lost a tough one to a BXB team desperate to stay in the mix. But as much as BXB wanted that game, the Pips probably should have won. This is a well-balanced team with good overall size, they should be even tougher int he playoffs.
5 (=) NFZ
 2-3 To some degree, NO FLY ZONE is still trying to figure out what kind of team they need to be. The one positive from last Sunday’s loss to SKW is that (F) Michael Reding seems to have gotten his shooting rhythm back, but now they’re on a bye this week.
6 (+1) BXB
 2-3 The BRONX BOMBERS are hanging around, and for a team in their first D1 season, that’s good enough. The more games they play, they better they will be at closing out these close games. One thing they need to improve on, 39% FT shooting, since they get to the line a pretty decent amount.
7 (-1) SKK
 1-4 When SHAWN KEMP’S KIDS (G) Donovan Walsh is there, they have a chance to win. But in their last 3 games, all losses, SKK has basically put out a shell squad. All teams will make playoffs this season, so if SKK wants to a shot at making a late run, they should probably start soon.

2ND DIVISION (SUNDAYS)

Rank Team Record Comments
1 (=) RAR
 3-0 Still undefeated, the RAINING ROSEBUDS finally have their bona fide go-to scorer settled in (G) Anthony Williams. (F) Mitch Moxley has been a very solid second option, and (G) Caleb Lui has been a pretty good complement to Williams in the backcourt so far.
2 (+4) ROC
 2-1 This is where we expected the NY ROCKITS to be. This is a young, quick team of guards backed by a solid big in (F) Derek Wong who can rebound and protecting the paint. (G/F) Steven Wong, the team’s most consistent player is one of the toughest, most versatile players in the league.
3 (=) TAP
 2-1 TAP NY has looked a little shaky, particularly in their short-handed loss to NFZ, but we’ll keep them at #3 for now. (G) Will Chu is playing out of his mind right now, and (G) John Hsu is picking up the shooting as well. They will need this kind of effort all season to stay alive in a tough D2 field.
4 (+1) NFP
 1-2 Finally, we got a taste of what NO FLY PANTHERS can look like with a full roster, playing their style. NFP scored 95 pts in last week’s win. (G) David Chu, (G) Ren Hsieh & (F) Marvin Chu are shooting well, if (G) Ori Damary continues to find his rhythm, this is a lot of firepower.
5 (-3) BOM
 1-2 This is the most perimeter depth that BOMB SQUAD has had with (G) Tommy Wong and (G) James Han joining the back court, but they run on the smaller side with (F) Sherwin Salar basically playing center. Still, this is really about (G) Alex Tsay getting healthy. Once he is, look out.
6 (-2) WOL
 1-2 For a team that reached the title game last season, the WOLVERINES are sorting through some chemistry issues. This is a team that historically has relied on defense and hustle to win. But with more offensive weapons this season than before, and aging legs, is it time to shift gears?
7 (=) ZHU
 0-2 JAMES ZHU & FRIENDS have only had 5 roster players show up to any one of their 2 games played. So it’s tough to say what they really have right now. (G) Derrick Shich is as good as any in D2 and rookie (F) Enoch Han has put up some solid #s, but they need some depth here.

3RD DIVISION (SUNDAYS)

Rank Team Record Comments
1 (=) LIF
 5-0 LET IT FLY holds serve as (F) Daniel Mosley, (G/F) Julien Duddley and (C) Ola Oni continue to be the most formidable front-line in D3. As long as that stands, this is where they’ll be.
2 (+2) JPU
 3-0 Guess who’s back? After an uneven summer season, JAPAN UNITED is back in contention with a 3-0 start. (G) Ryota Takahashi and (F) Marc Lashly are solid as usual, but it may be the addition of veteran (F) Toshi Koizumi that glues it all together. Oh and (G) Maou Suzuki is back too.
3 (+4) TW1
 3-1 TAIWAN NO. 1‘s win over NFZ showed a lot. It took good composure in crunch time to pull out a win vs the former champs. TW1 have great size for a D3 team, most notably in (F) Alex Liu and (F) Henry Lin who are both big, versatile scoring options. 
4 (+2) RIS
 2-1 Sleep at your own risk on the 5-time D3 champs, RISE AGAIN. Especially with perennial MVP (G) Leuis Ng playing as well as ever. And (F) Matt Auerbach continues to make solid all-around contributions, but the sooner he gets his shooting stroke back, the better. 
5 (-2) NFZ
 1-2 NO FLY ZONE OG dropped a short-handed heart-breaker to TW1 last week, but they’ll get top scorer (F) Young Wang back this week. It looks like (G) Ren Hsieh is tuned in early, but the regular season won’t be their primary concern though, they’ll make their run in the playoffs.
6 (-4) LAR
 1-2 There can be such thing as having too many players on a roster, and that might be the issue with LARRY THE CABLE GUY’S KIDS right now.  A lot of guys are scoring, but it doesn’t seem like any specific core is getting into much of a rhythm in any game.
7 (-2) BIL
 1-2 BALL IS LIFE dropped two straight, but they have made good showings vs the division’s top teams. They have solid depth at the guard position with (G) Sean He leading the way, but they’re gonna need to score more than 38 ppg to really make the leap to contender status.
8 (=) CRO
 0-4 Oddly enough, the CROSSBOWS have showed real promise despite not having won a game yet. But that blowout loss to TW1 wasn’t pretty. (F) Li Jiayuan is a franchise-type player, but they need at least one more guy to step up on the offensive end. 
9 (=) GOO
 0-4 GOON SQUAD has also had a couple of good showings, but also a couple of blowout losses. The Goons will get consistent scoring from (G) Charles Zheng and (G) Robert Zhang, they just need to focus on defense and how to close out games as a team.

Fall ’17 Week 4 Power Rankings (D2 WN & D3 WN)

2ND DIVISION (WEEKNIGHTS)

Rank Team Record Comments
1 (=) GMM
 3-1 Reigning MVP (F) Brian Law is having another worthy campaign and GUARD ME MAYBE will ride the wave. Improved play from mini-Brian Law (F) Stefan Chaplin has helped diversify GMM’s offense, and (G) Tommy Wong has been lights out from 3 all season.
2 (+1) DPY
 2-1 Two-time reigning champs, DON’T EVER PLAY YOURSELF, are right on schedule to defend their title having now given the reigns fully to (F) Tyler McFarlane who is playing out of his mind right now. Never mind the #2 ranking, this is still the team to beat until proven otherwise.
3 (-1) MLG
 3-1 MLGB has built themselves into a contender. They went toe-to-toe with DPY, which proved this team is officially a contender.  (G) Jason Gu, (G) Ruoyu Chen and (F) Bowen Wang are a formidable trio, but rookie (C) Fang Jian Yuan has been a huge reason MLG has made the jump.
4 (+1) DAW
 3-1 D.A.W. (G) Jason Meija is D2’s most exciting player, and already an MVP contender. And so is his teammate (C) Lou Nikki, who has dominate the paint this season, the only big to put up 20 & 10 while shooting 65% from the field. Breaking into the Top 4 is great, but that’s not their ceiling.
5 (+2) MIX
 2-2 After an 0-2 start, MIXED BAG has bounced back to win two straight, albeit, against two teams who have yet to win a game. So, middle of the pack seems like the right place for now. Rookie (G) Effie Klein has proven to be an efficient scorer this season, we’ll see how this team evolves.
6 (-2) NGC
 1-3 NYC GRITTY COMMITTEE is struggling. (G) David Chu and (G) Ace Watanasuparp have both seen a huge drop in offensive productivity. And (G) Mark Lee is virtually non-existent. NGC has won a chip and gone to back-to-back title games just a season ago, they gotta fix this.
7 (-1) JAM
 1-3 SPACE JAM could just as easily be 3-1 but they have not quite mastered closing out games. And they have played well overall. Coming off maybe his best season, (F) J.L. Novosad has been even better this season. They have depth at every position, JAM should really be better than this. 
8 (=) UBC
 0-4 At first glance, you might ask how UNCLE BOUGHT A COW, a one-time contender with a two-time D2 MVP, could fall to 0-4. The answer appears to be consistency of lineup. (F) Ben Hoynes and (F) Marco Barratta have not been there, which really hurts an otherwise undersized team.
9 (=) TRI
 0-3 TRIBE has some familiar faces on the roster, but they are largely new to each other. (F) Toko Kono, (F) Young Yu and (F) Jonathan Chen will provide consistent scoring, but they need some depth and more consistent effort on the defensive end. They’re otherwise not far away.

3RD DIVISION (WEEKNIGHTS)

Rank Team Record Comments
1 (+2) YIE
 4-1 YIELDMO has the most singular player in D3 in (F) Max Paynter, and until that changes, they’ll be #1. His size, scoring, defense, and ceaseless hustle is unprecedented here. Around Paynter are role players that could star on other teams. This is the hands-down favorite to win it.
2 (+2) NGC
 2-1 NYC GRITTY COMMITTEE (F) Joey Lee is having maybe his best season and has been a key contributor in both their wins. (G) Mark Lee and (G) Teddy Oh continue to be one of D3’s best backcourts. NGC is a contender again this season.
3 (-2) 30F
 3-2 After a strong 3-1 start, 30-FOR-30 looked sluggish last night in a very winnable game vs GA7. They’ll look to bounce back and finish the regular season off with a win, and go into the post-season with momentum.
4 (-2) SNB
 2-2 SMASH N BOUNCE is .500 but they’re the only team to beat the Top 2 teams on this list. Which is to say there is some inconsistency here, but when SNB is tuned in, they can win it all.
5 (+1) HAN
 2-2 The HANDEL ARCHITECTS, now in their 2nd season, have posted two impressive wins in a row. (G) Han Lee is providing a consistent source of points with 18.3 ppg, and they’re getting good all-around contributions from everyone else. Can they keep up this pace?
6 (+2) FLA
 1-2 On paper, the FLAT EARTHERS have plenty of firepower, particularly with (G) Julian Choi settling in, he’ll be one of the best scorers in D3. What they lack now is consistent rebounding and 3-point shooting.
7 (=) GA7
 2-2 GAME 7 picked up a win last night, but we’ll need to see some consistency in the lineup to move them up. Fourteen players have touched the court for GA7 so far, so there’s plenty up in the air. But one things for sure, having (G) Elliott Curtis out there will always give them a chance to win.
8 (-3) DYN
 1-3 After finally picking up their first W vs a tough SNB team, NY DYNASTY looks like they might be getting back on track. For DYN, any season short of competing for a title is wasted, so it’s about time. Adding (G) Evan Leong may be just the competitive fire they needed.
9 (-1) TBT
 0-2 At just 36 ppg, TBT needs some more scoring to really challenge opposing teams. Plenty of season left for them to work their way up the ladder, but 26% FGs and only 27.5 rpg isn’t going to do it.

Fall ’17 Week 3 Power Rankings (All Sunday Divisions)

1ST DIVISION (SUNDAYS)

Rank Team Record Comments
1 (n/a) LMA
 3-1 The defending champs, LACE’O MY ASO are picking up right where they left off, getting balanced scoring yet again this season. This may be the most balanced team in the league, solid on offense, defense, and in the hustle stats. (F) Matt Birtwell has been a machine on the glass.
2 (n/a) DOR 2-1 DORIS FROM REGO PARK always brings a contender, with a healthy dose of tough, grindhouse basketball. And there always seems to be a new face that keeps things fresh. This season it’s (G) Jacob Leizman, a crafty scorer that gives this D-oriented club consistent O, a scary thought.
3 (n/a) SKW
 1-0 When the shots are dropping, no team can run up the score like SK WAR DOG. They don’t have quite as much depth at guard this season with (G) Pat Youreneff out, but (G) Kash Miah and (G) Vegas Dave Wong should provide plenty of firepower. 
4 (n/a) PIP
 2-2 Captain (C) Graham Diamond‘s new club, PIPPEN AIN’T EASY, brings in a lot of new faces. The 0-2 start can be chalked up to some growing pains, but they’re getting into rhythm now. This is a tall, versatile line-up that creates match-up problems.  No lack of hustle either.
5 (n/a) NFZ
 1-2 The perennial powerhouse has come out flat so far this season, displaying very little if any sense of urgency. Key rotation players have moved on and their absence is very noticeable. They’ll have to adjust, but after a summer layoff, the offense has not looked particularly crisp or even coherent.
6 (n/a) SKK
 1-2 With two key rotation players leaving to form their own team, SHAWN KEMP’S KIDS is working in some new faces as well. (G) Donovan Walsh continues to be a scoring dynamo, but they’ll have to do it without speedy (G) James Alexander, out for the season with a broken finger. 
7 (n/a) BXB
 1-3 On paper, the BRONX BOMBERS look pretty good. But man, did SKW give it to ’em. Expect them to bounce back. This is still the most athletic team in D1 Sun, with an array of finishers, and a PG in (G) Will Guevara who can find them. They just have to improve their base defense.

2ND DIVISION (SUNDAYS)

Rank Team Record Comments
1 (n/a) RAR
 1-0 RAINING ROSEBUDS are stacked if they get solid attendance, and that’s always the question with RAR. Adding (G) Caleb Lui gives them a reliable PG who should complement scorer (G) Anthony WIlliams, both are aggressive defenders who can get the team out in transition.
2 (n/a) BOM 1-1 BOMB SQUAD (G) Alex Tsay is fighting off a leg injury, but if he is able to return healthy, the Bombers will be a contender yet again. Adding (G) Tommy Wong gives them a deep threat they desperately needed.
3 (n/a) TAP
 1-0 With (F) Dave Liu back for TAP NY, they can make a run at the title this season. It hinges on (G) Will Chu. When he is making shots and playing efficiently, he can carry this team offensively to beat any team in D2. He is unguardable at this level when his jumper is falling. 
4 (n/a) WOL
 1-1 The WOLVERINES lost a winnable game vs BOM, then held on to beat NFP in any ugly one. They’ll take the result. The addition of (F) J.L. Novosad gives them a deep threat they haven’t quite taken advantage of yet, and he’s just as good a hustle player as the rest of the Wolverines.
5 (n/a) NFP
 0-1 The NO FLY PANTHERS have plenty of firepower, but they’re finesse. When they struggle with attendance, it wears down their shooters, and the shots stop falling. This is an uptempo team that relies on getting a lot of possessions. They either need a bigger roster or to get in better shape.
6 (n/a) ROC
 0-1 They took a heart-breaking loss last week to TAP, but expect the NY ROCKITS to bounce back. This guard-oriented roster dominated D2 WN a few seasons ago with their team speed and versatility. 
7 (n/a) ZHU
 0-0 This is a default low-ranking for TEAM JAMES ZHU having not yet played a game this season. As soon as they get their first decision under their belt, we can get a better idea of where they stand.

3RD DIVISION (SUNDAYS)

Rank Team Record Comments
1 (n/a) LIF
 3-0 LET IT FLY have the biggest lineup and most athletic roster in D3, with arguably the best player in (F) Daniel Mosley. In other words, LIF is STACKED. If you want to beat this team, you have to keep them off the offensive glass, which they attack relentlessly, and protect the paint. 
2 (n/a) LAR 1-0 Last season’s finalists are back with essentially the same roster. LARRY THE CABLE GUY’S KIDS are a defense-oriented team with three of D3’s best defenders. They rely on (G) Eddie Tsao for offense, and if he has another solid season, expect LAR competing for the chip again.
3 (n/a) NFZ
 1-1 A short-handed NO FLY ZONE OG led LIF in the 4th qtr until they ran out of gas, and (F) Young Wang is still playing All-TDL 1st Team caliber ball. Don’t forget NFZ was the spring champ, and seemed on their way to defending until they bizarrely forfeited in the semis due to attendance.
4 (n/a) JPU
 1-0 JAPAN UNITED narrowly edged CRO in their opener without scorer (G) Ryota Takahashi in the lineup. The team hasn’t had quite the same firepower with (F) Daniel Mosley moving on to LIF, but (F) Marc Lashly has pulled his weight to keep JPU in the mix.
5 (n/a) BIL
 1-0 An impressive opening day win over RIS for BALL IS LIFE led by (G/F) Jason Sun and the always reliable (G) Sean He. Can this be the season that BIL finally makes a move toward contention? We’re here for it.
6 (n/a) RIS
 0-1 RISE AGAIN is basically Spaghetti Ramen by another name. Perennial MVP (G) Leuis Ng missed the first game, so don’t expect them to be here for long. This team has deep championship pedigree for a reason.
7 (n/a) TW1
 1-1 TAIWAN NO. 1 has some solid pieces, and (F) Chuan-Heng Lin is one of D3’s more exciting players to watch. As a newbie club, it’s still too soon to determine where they’ll finish. Their destiny is in their hands.
8 (n/a) CRO
 0-3 And the same goes for the CROSSBOWS. Their (F) Li Jiayuan has also been one of the division’s more versatile and exciting players. But taking the narrow loss to JPU hurts. We’ll see how they bounce back.
9 (n/a) GOO
 0-2 GOON SQUAD probably should have on that game vs TW1. The LIF game was maybe too much expect, but GOO will get solid scoring from (G) Charles Zheng and (G) Robert Zhang. The rest is just making the right plays and getting the stops they need to win games down the stretch.
