Rank | Team | Record | Comments |
1 (N/A) | GMM | 4-1 | Guard Me Maybe may not be the best defensive team in the league, but they have enough firepower to make up for it, scoring a league best 62.8 ppg. (G) Kento Kato and (G) Tommy Wong are a formidable backcourt, and they have great hustle players up and down the roster, but the x-factor has been (F) Jin Bae Kim‘s all-around effective play. |
2 (N/A) | DOR | 3-2 | Despite their surprising blowout loss to GMM, Doris From Rego Park has looked like a contender in most games this season. They are the opposite of GMM in many ways. Not a high-scoring team, but they dig in on defense every possession. (G) David Weiss and rookie (F) Billy Katz both lead by example. |
3 (N/A) | SPR | 3-2 | This is a veteran team with multiple championships under their belt so no matter their record, Spaghetti Ramen is always a contender. Veteran (G) Leuis Ng will put his team in position to win games, and (F) Mark Hahn has been returning to Defensive MVP form with every game. |
4 (N/A) | SKL | 3-2 | Skillshare also comes with a very strong backcourt with (G) Elliot Curtis and (G) Michael Hamane leading the way. They’re also the league’s biggest team with (F) Scott Sullivan and (C) Anthony Hull in the front-court. At full strength, this team is as much a contender as any of the aforementioned. Their only losses have really only come in short-handed games. |
5 (N/A) | NGC | 2-3 | Similar to SPR, NYC Gritty Committee is a veteran team with plenty of pedigree and titles. As they’ve gotten older, they’ve just got off to slower starts. But now they’re starting to take shape. (G) Mark Lee is capable of 25 ppg and (C) Victor Chia is dominating the paint this season. Never a deep team, they tend to run out of gas late in games, but if they make the playoffs, this is again, another contender. |
6 (N/A) | DYN | 2-3 | Depth has been a major problem for the NY Dynasty as well. They may have given away two losses for lack of a bench. (G) Ren Hsieh is leading the league in scoring, but at 38 years old, that’s probably not a good sign. Rookie (C) Steve Song has been huge in his first season, fitting right in with DYN. They just need a little more help to get over the hump. |
7 (N/A) | FRE | 2-3 | The NY Freemasons are a mercurial team. They bring the defense in every game, but their offense is so erratic, they sometimes make you wonder if it’s the same team showing up every week. After inching toward a playoff spot, they were embarrassed by NGC last week, and knocked back to outsider status. They’ll practically have to win out to get in now. |
8 (N/A) | BDL | 1-4 | Truth be told, Make BDL Great Again probably already won their NBA Finals/Super Bowl/World Series already with that incredible comeback win over NGC. They’ll have to win out and hope for the best for a playoff spot, but for this team–easily the oldest in the league, with the most children–has done pretty well for itself this season, competing in every game. |
