TDL Fall 2016 Semi-Weekly Power Rankings

PREMIER DIVISION

Rank Team Record Comments
1 (N/A)
MWW		 2-0 Metta World War somehow didn’t win the championship last season, so they’re back with a vengeance. In Week 2, they tried out a couple of new pieces (G) Dominique Jones and (F) Claude Blue. If they stay on the roster, this team may not lose a game this season.
2 (N/A) SIX 1-0 Lest you forget that Team Six are the defending champions, and they did it with key players missing in the title game. (G) James Hudson is gone, but rumor has it that perennial All-TDL First Teamer (G) Zack Simmons will be returning to take his place.
3 (N/A) DYN 1-0 The NY Dynasty were one win away from their 4th franchise title last season, but if everyone else is upgrading, they should too. 6-7 (C) Reid Wittman is back, with new add (F) Arjun Ohri. If (G) Daniel Guest stays on the roster, they could be on their way back to the title game.
4 (N/A) GMM 1-1 Guard Me Maybe always thrown together a lot of talent on the roster, the trick has always been getting the team to mesh in time for the post season. When it does, they can get to the chip. (G) Landon Glover will lead the way, but they could use another shooter. 
5 (N/A) FC2 0-2 FC 21 Peace & Love has had the unfortunate luck of being scheduled against two of Premier’s top teams to start the season. They haven’t looked bad, but defense has been an issue. They’ve given up 75 ppg in their first two losses. Something must change on that end of the floor. 
6 (N/A) WHG 0-1 Still too early to tell with We Had Game, they have some solid pieces on the board already, but we have yet to see their full roster. Rookie (F) Jason Graffam is a fluid scorer and (G) Michael Springer can create his own shot as well as anyone in Premier. That’s a good start.
7 (N/A) BOO 0-1 Boomtown has a revamped roster with some solid new pieces that fit in well to their defensive-minded, workhorse style of play. The question is whether or not they have enough firepower. As it stands now, (F) Nate Jones will have to post some big nights for BOO to thrive.
