| Spring 2016 Power Rankings: Week 2 | ||||
| RANK | TEAM / RECORD | TRENDING | COMMENTS | |
1 |
 Guard Me Maybe 2-0 |
N/A
|
Guard Me Maybe barely scraped into the playoffs last season, but they’ve started the spring off right, winning two in a row including a stunning comeback victory over SAL in Week 2. All this and big-time scorer (F) Jason Mendell hasn’t even touched the court yet. With (G) Landon Glover and (G) Gino Calderon bolstering this backcourt, GMM might be ready to contend. | |
2 |
 Meta World War 1-1 |
N/A
|
In their opening loss to TIM, they had to go without key players in the lineup, and they still led for most of that game. But, through Week 2, their roster still looks a little unclear. If they don’t have (C) Kwa Brenya to backup (F) Stedford McCleod, MWW could suddenly seem like a team on the small side. | |
3 |
 Free Agents 1-1 |
N/A
|
As they displayed in their Week 2 win over TIM, when this team is playing sharp, they can beat anyone, whether they have a true center on the roster or not. (G) Gus Gauntlett has been the prefect replacement for departed (G) Landon Glover and (G) Gino Calderon. And, (F) Varun Manocha‘s tireless work on the boards is always a welcome sight. | |
4 |
Tim Nubina 1-1 |
N/A
|
We’ve never had a team as big as Tim Nubina in this league before. Their roster boasts a 7-footer, along with 6-8, 6-7, 6-7, and 6-6 players. They don’t have anyone shorter than 6-2 on the team. Not only are they big, but they can shoot. But as good as they are, they haven’t yet been dominant. That could just be a matter of time. | |
 Boomtown 1-0 |
N/A
|
Boomtown will never be the most talented team on the floor, but they will never be out-worked on the court. Their nightly blue-collar effort earned them a championship not too far back. (F) Nate Jones seems to have broken a season long shooting slump from a forgettable Fall 2015 campaign. And, (G) Jack Delighter is back on the roster, BOO’s heart and soul. | ||
6 |
 Sal Team 6 1-1 |
N/A
|
The veteran Sal Team 6 hasn’t looked particularly sharp in their first two games after back-to-back disappointing seasons in which they were built to win it all. But maybe new addition (F) Rashaun Banjo can help fire things up for them. (F) Parker McClelland‘s return to the lineup should also help. | |
7 |
 That 70s Team 1-1 |
N/A
|
Aside from TIM, That 70s Team can boast the next biggest lineup in the league with 6-7 (F) Matija Petrovic, 6-7 (F) Martin Brusewitz and 6-6 (C) Sava Vemic. All three have been strong in the paint so far, but 70S’ chances will rely on their guard play and 3-pt shooting, which can be erratic. But if 6-5 (G) Lou McCroskey can get it going from the perimeter, this will be a tough team to stop. (G) Shaun Crummy should fit in well with his all-around contributions. | |
8 |
NY Dynasty 0-1 |
N/A
|
Four-time champions NY Dynasty aren’t getting any younger and in Week 1, playing with a shell squad, they didn’t look like much. But, 6-6 (F) George O’Garro and 6-6 (F) Seamus McKiernan weren’t there. Neither were (G) Will Haile and (G) Pat Armstrong. This is still a team with a lot of firepower, and just last season, they finished 7-0 in the regular season (albeit with different personnel), falling just short in the championship game. | |
9 |
 NYK Spartans 0-2 |
N/A
|
The Spartans came in out of shape and under-manned. That’s not a good for competing in a league that is stacked from top to bottom. There will be no gimme wins to fall back on this season. The Spartans were always a team that had to outwork and out-smart other teams. So far, that just hasn’t happened. | |
