4-3		 SCOUTING REPORT

At full strength, Guard Me Maybe rivals DPY in overall talent on the roster. This season (F) Stefan Chaplin raised play to a level that suggests GMM may have a Big 3 along with reigning MVP (F) Brian Law and (G) Tommy Wong. They’ve had bad luck in the playoffs with player availability, but if they have all their pieces, they’ll contend for the championship.

Law does it all. Arguably D2’s most athletic player, he is just as capable of dominating on the defensive end, as he is on offense. DAW is a team with good speed and a physicality, so the Maybes will need a strong, sustained performance from Law. 

(3) NYC GRITTY COMMITTEE

  

VS

  

(7) NY DYNASTY
SCOUTING REPORT

As expected, Gritty was tested in their 1st rd match-up vs GA7. They got the W, thriving on the kind of clutch plays down the stretch that they’ll need to keep making here on out. This hasn’t been the most talented roster all season, but they do have the longest tenure together, and as long as they keep the faith they can win it all.

DYN
3-4		 SCOUTING REPORT

It wasn’t a pretty regular season for the NY Dynasty, but they pulled of a big upset win over a contender in the 1st rd by blowing out 30F. DYN finally started playing like they’d been expected to play all season. If that was the turnaround moment in their season then it was the perfect time for it, and really bad timing for everyone else.
Player Spotlight: Teddy Oh

Oh hasn’t had a great playoffs so far, but in the regular season, he gave DYN a team-high 18 points as the Dynasty back court struggled so stay in front of him. If he stays aggressive in this match-up, he’ll put NGC in a position to exploit DYN’s slow rotations on defense.

After a down season, Chu finally broke out in the 1st rd, with 27 points on 11-16 FGs vs 30F. The effort came just when DYN needed it most, and hopefully for Dynasty, he can keep up the hot shooting against an NGC team that isn’t particularly good at closing out on the 3-pt line.

(1) RAW DOGS

  

VS

  

(4) HONEY BADGERS
SCOUTING REPORT

Raw Dogs come in with the most talented roster in D1. The Top 4 of their lineup, (F) Lenny McNeil, (F) Ronnie Bethea, (G) Robert Swift and (G) Sean Corley are all match-up problems. RAW seem to think they’re undersized, and it gives them a chip on the shoulder, but they’re actually middle of the pack in D1. And their overall strength and athleticism makes them seem even bigger, which is a problem for the Badgers who are perpetually undersized.

HON
4-3		 SCOUTING REPORT

RAW hasn’t faced much defense since moving up to D1, but the Honey Badgers will give them all they could ask for. What the Badgers lack in size and scoring, they make up for with grit and toughness. No team grinds like HON, but they have a tendency to wear themselves out against more athletic teams. RAW isn’t particularly committed to sustained defense, so the Badgers will get shots. They just have to make a higher rate than they have so far this season to keep pace.
Player Spotlight: 

The Badgers struggle with tough, physical and crafty scorers in the paint. And that’s exactly McNeil is, plus he can shoot the 3 as well. With microwave oven shooting around him, McNeil should get plenty of 1-on-1 looks at the rim and he knows what to do with the ball when he gets space. Put it in the dang hole.

You know what you’re gonna get from the Badgers’ core, but Powell is their x-factor. He gives them a strong open court finisher, and an additional 3-pt threat. The latter has been key with shooters (G) Jeff Syham and (G) Mike Bill missing so many games. Powell is an off-ball scorer but moves well to get open, just what HON needs.

(4) PEACE & LOVE

  

VS

  

(6) METTA WORLD WAR
SCOUTING REPORT

Peace & Love put on a clinic in their upset win over Showcase NYC last night. And it was a big upset. At times this fall, SHO looked unbeatable, but PNL dismantled SHO’s gilded defense and lit them up 66-44. They’re still not a great defense, but they’re tougher at every position on D, and they can grind out stops when needed. MWW can score, but they’re hardly the defensive behemoth of seasons past, so PNL will get opportunities. Depth is not a strength for either team, and as such, these are two well-matched teams.

MWW
3-4		 SCOUTING REPORT

Admittedly, this is not the title match-up we predicted. Metta is a 4-time champion, and should never be discounted, but they had their worst reg season in franchise histor. They’ve had some luck: Their 1st rd opponent forfeited, and last night, DYN played without (G) Shawn Delos Reyes. But never mind that, Metta looked good last night. (G) Pace Shaw finally looked like he fit in. And the 1-2 punch of (F) Nick Pelletier & (C) Stedford McCleod looked pretty much unstoppable. All of a sudden the Mettas look like the team to beat again, ready to hoist a 5th title. 
Player Spotlight: Seamus McKiernan

The veteran McKiernan’s presence in the paint as a scorer and defender has been key to PNL’s success. He is a crafty scorer around the basket, but MWW actually has a strong interior defense McKiernan will have to pick and choose his spots, but he has to stay aggressive.

Pelletier has long been Metta’s utility man and glue guy, making all the little plays that his team needs to win. He can also be their best shooter when called upon, and his 19 pts on 5 3FGs was huge in the win over DYN. In MWW’s current line-up he’ll get plenty of chances for a repeat performance.

(3) THE LIZARDS

  

VS

  

(6) UNITED NATIONS
SCOUTING REPORT

The Lizards started out the season looking like the consensus #1, but a couple of short handed losses mid-season dropped them to #3, which is probably where they prefer to be. This is D1’s tallest team in terms of their overall team height, but their offense comes predominantly from their back court (G) Joe Zenz and (G) Gianni Maratea. (F) Nat Schacht will also bring a versatile skill set, and there’s never any shortage of effort with (F) Colin Desmond on the floor.

UNN
3-3		 SCOUTING REPORT

After a tough summer, United Nations has been solid this fall. Posting impressive wins over HON & GA7. It’s a balanced offense, due to a very deep roster, but it’s worked okay so far. When they have kept games close, they have been able to collectively make the kind of clutch plays to close out games. They have also put up some duds as well, namely to the Lizards. They’ll have to get off to a better start this time around to have a chance.
Player Spotlight: Joe Zenz

The veteran point guard has long been the catalyst for this team. He can score off the bounce and with his jumper when needed, but his ability to orchestrate and set up his teammates is what puts him up there as one of the league’s top floor leaders. If both he and Maratea are available, watch out.

Latta has been a more efficient scorer this season, but should United expect more out of him? He’s a great position defender, and is a lot stronger in the paint than he looks. So he’ll be an impact whether he scores or not, but maybe he needs to take more than 8 FGAs per game.

(2) NY DYNASTY

  

VS

  

(7) SKY
SCOUTING REPORT

This version of the Dynasty no longer has a dominant scorer, but this is the best defense the team has ever had. With a number of long versatile defenders, DYN can cover a lot of court, and they get balanced scoring on the other end, mostly from the perimeter. Which is what makes them somewhat tricky to match up with. Nobody dominates the ball, every player has guard skills from to bottom and you never know which player is going to step up offensively on a given night.

SKY
1-5		 SCOUTING REPORT

When SKY played DYN in their opener, they took a little while to get acclimated. But when they did, they looked very good. This is a team that lives and dies by the 3. At 35.5 attempts per game, no team puts up more 3FGs. They’re not the tallest team in league, but they have a number of players with versatile skills, who are crafty around the basket, and two knockdown shooters in (G) Garrison Carr and capt (G) Ben Do. If they start out hot in this one, they can win it.
Player Spotlight: Michael Reding

The veteran Reding is their best and most willing shooter. He can get hot quickly, but he doesn’t really create his own shot. Luckily, his teammates do a great job of finding him. His legs can tire late, however, as he puts in just as much effort on defense as he does on offense.

Carr is one of the best scorers in Premier this season, his 26.4 ppg is good for 3rd in the league, in a very high scoring fall. He attempted 16.6 3FGs per game during the regular season, and he will hit them in flurries. His range will test the length and speed of the DYN defense. 

(1) SHOWCASE NYC

  

VS

  

(8) GAME 7
SCOUTING REPORT

Showcase NYC has a pretty interesting approach. Whether they play man or zone, the guards are there to scrap on defense, and force their opponents challenge (F) Joe Vines in the paint. Vines has been masterful as the back line of the defense, looking quicker on his feet than he has in awhile. He’s a shoe-in for Defensive MVP this season. Then on the offensive end, they rely on arguably the toughest 1-on-1 match-up in Premier, (F) Mike Liander, who’s an easy 30 ppg.
SHO

GA7
1-5		 SCOUTING REPORT

Game 7 is late season move up from D1, so you can’t blame them for needing time to get acclimated. But they definitely have the size and talent to compete. And if SHO is caught sleeping, they’re more than capable of pulling out a win here with a front-line that is big and versatile enough to give SHO some match up issues. If (C) Dan Solomito and (F) Noah Levine are both available and hitting their shots, they can force SHO’s defense to get out of their comfort zone.
Player Spotlight: Mike Liander

Liander is good for 30 ppg on a very efficient 54% FGs. Which means he could go for more if SHO should need it. He’s also not a bad defender when he needs to be, responsible for 2.3 bpg. At about 6-6, he’s a touch match-up, quicker than the bigs, bigger than the guards.

30.0 ppg
8.8 rpg

GA7 needs Solomito, Levine and (G) Elliott Curtis to make 3s no matter what, but what could give them the advantage is who’s left to guard Braithwaite. Outside of Vines and Liander, SHO is undersized, so Braithwaite could be match-up nightmare. He is a strong finisher in the paint.

Fall ’17 Week 4 Power Rankings (Premier & D1 WN)

PREMIER DIVISION (WEEKNIGHTS)

Rank Team Record Comments
1 (=) DYN
 3-1 Somehow NY DYNASTY has found a way to hang around here with every team taking a loss since the last ranking. DYN’s offense hasn’t been pretty, but they have great length on defense and a commitment to winning on the uglier side of the ball, holding teams to a league-best 49.3 ppg.
2 (=) PNL 3-1 PEACE & LOVE has been a bit of the opposite in past seasons. Great on offense, but lacking on D. This may be the best offensive personnel they’ve ever had with gunner (G) David Melendez leading the way, but in a short handed game vs SKY, it was the defense that came up short again.
3 (+2) LB3
 2-2 As soon as LIVE BY THE 3 (G/F) Kevin Josey stepped onto the floor, LB3’s season turned around, winning two straight now. Josey is a scorer from every spot on the floor, and with athletic (C) Tim Cole holding down the paint, this team isn’t just moving up, they’re a contender.
4 (-1) SHO
 2-1 SHOWCASE NYC still has the most formidable front-court in the entire league with (F) Joe Vines and (F) Mike Liander, but their guard play has been inconsistent. (G) Jimmy Ng could be the solution, but they may need to let him open up the offense a little.
5 (-2) WHG
 2-2 Each of WE HAD GAME‘s last 3 contests have been decided by 3 points or less, and they are 1-2 in those games. WHG has all the personnel they need to make a championship run so don’t go counting them out yet. (G) Richard Shea has provided a nice offensive spark this season.
6 (+1) SKY
 1-3 Newcomers SKY has been so close in so many games, it was nice to see them finally pick up their first win. Truth is, SKY could just as easily be 4-0. It’s probably no coincidence that the win came with (F) Mike Smalls and (F) Adam Renna carving up the PNL D to get into the paint. 
7 (-1) MWW
 0-3 It’s been a precipitous fall from grace for METTA WORLD WAR, a team that has struggled with attendance, and key players out of the lineup. If any team can turn it around, it would be MWW, but right now, things look pretty bleak for the 4-time defending champs.

1ST DIVISION (WEEKNIGHTS)

Rank Team Record Comments
1 (+1) CRV
 2-1 CRAFTY VETS look like they’re back in championship form. (G) Chris Daley continues to be a prolific scorer, but it’s (G) Travis Benjamin that makes CRV nearly unstoppable as a reliable #2 option.  Not to mention (F) Rosario Bianco‘s great all-around game. This looks like the team to beat.
2 (=) HON
 2-1 HONEY BADGERS (F) Zach Moretti is having a monster of a season. At maybe just a shade taller than 6-1, Moretti is posting huge #s on both sides of the ball as an undersized SF. But that’s Badgers basketball. Like Moretti, they’ve never been the biggest, but man do they play hard.
3 (=) YOL
 3-1 The 3-1 record looks great, and is a testament to how far YOLO has come this season. (G) Effie Klein has been a solid addition to the roster and gives them more balanced scoring. This could be the season that YOL makes the jump toward championship contention.
4 (+3) UNN
 3-2 It’s also been a nice turnaround for UNITED NATIONS. With (F) Jack Latta more available, and paired with ever-ready (F) Joseph Bassey, UNN finally has the tough front-line they showed on paper. This is a deep roster with a lot of contributors, every win is a team win for UNN.
5 (-4) LIZ
 2-2 THE LIZARDS claim to be cursed. Every time they get a #1 ranking, they immediately fall. With injuries to key players in their last 2 games, both losses, can’t really blame them for thinking that. Still, any team with (G) Joe Zenz and (F) Nat Schacht has a chance so don’t count them out yet.
6 (=) HOO
 2-2 Despite being one of the smaller teams in D1, the HOODIE MELOS have hung around with polished guard play and veteran craftiness. (G/F) Kev Chang is a former MVP and (G) Jason Chin is as good as they come in crunch time situations. Don’t sleep on HOO.
7 (n/a) RAW
 4-0 RAW DOGS have been bumped up from D2 into the #7 spot due to a very talented, if slightly undersized, roster. (F) Lenny McNeil, (F) Robert Sweet & (G) Ronnie Bethea are a problem 1-on-1 and (G) Sean Corley is quick as they come, and a menace on D. Expect RAW to move up.
8 (=) VIN
 1-3 VINO picked up their first win in a solid effort vs LIZ. Rookie (F) Matt Kelly pulled out all the stops in that game, and it loos like if VIN wants to keep on winning, he’ll need to do more of the same. 
9 (-4) GA7
 0-3 When you look at their roster, it’s tough to imagine how this team could be 0-3. There a lot of new pieces here that need to find a way to mesh, but it seems like, if they do, this team could quickly become a problem.
