Power Rankings

#1 What’s Luv

These guys are bullying their way through the schedule so far. The chemistry was instant and it’s no surprise they haven’t made a trade.

#2 Grind Time

After a loss on opening night, Grind Time has won 2 straight. They too have yet to make a trade and look better with each passing week.

#3 Unruly

Huge trade sending maybe the biggest man in the league for a much needed true PG. Unruly addresses a major need in a point guard and still have one of the biggest teams in the league.

#4 S.W.I.S.H.

It’s a roller coaster and on this roller coaster, no one is safe (as their top pick commented on Instagram). Preston Singh has been the most active and on paper he’s pulled off a few great deals.

#5 Investment Academy

After a 38 point loss to What’s Luv you knew GM Mike Myers was going to mix things up. Maybe the change helps turn things around for them. Too much talent for this team to be under .500 right now.

#6 Box Out

Yikes, 0-3 but there’s good news. #1 they’ve picked up a big that they desperately need and #2 they haven’t been THAT bad. 2 of the 3 games have been winnable games so it’s just a matter of doing the little things.

Rookie Rankings

Still very early, but here’s how I’ve got them at the moment.

#1 - Jevon Jacobs – 2nd in scoring at 21.3 PPG on 52.1% FG shooting. Keeps improving every game. Might even be in the MVP Race.

#2 - Jonathan Harvey – 4th in scoring at 16.7 PPG on 40.4% FG shooting. Doesn't look like a rookie out there. Part of that deathly left handed trio.

#3 - Trevor Mann – Averaging 11.3 PPG and is tied for the league lead in offensive rebounds. A little bit of rust but he'll get that past that.

#4 - Asim Mirza – Averaging 11.0 on 53% shooting. Every Coach loves a player like him. 2-way player, a big that can shoot and pass. Super efficient.

#5 - Bobby Colorado – Averaging 8.0 PPG on 54% shooting and shooting 57% from long range. Would average more points on any other team. Does a great job in his role.

Honourable Mentions: Hussein Mahdi, Sean Wong and Japrell Morgan.

MVP Rankings

It might be a bit too early to rank MVP’s so I’ll share 5 players in no particular order that could be in the running.

D’Andre Hospedales

Yes...I know...the team is 0-3 but the man is posting some monster numbers. He leads the league in 3 major categories. He leads in PPG, RPG and SPG. He also leads in free throws made and is 2nd in BPG. Only thing that’s missing is a winning record.

Norman Penola

When it’s closing time, don’t think there’s anyone better right now. Our version of James Harden is averaging 14.3 PPG, 8.3 RPG and 7.0 APG (Tied for 1st in the league) for Grind Time who have won 2 in a row. And who says Penola/Harden doesn’t play D? Penola is tied for 2nd in blocked shots.

Delly Thomas

He could average more points per game, but he’s putting winning ahead of individual scoring. He’s averaging a solid 11.0 PPG, 11.3 RPG (3rd in the league) and 7.0 APG (Tied for 1st in the league. Right now he’s quarterbacking a 3-0 team and leading the team’s best offense.

Zac Bendahan

He doesn’t do anything flashy, but he simply gets the job done. He scores efficiently, 2nd in the league in rebounding and can knock down the three ball as well. Bendahan > Battier lol.

Jevon Jacobs

It didn’t take long for this rookie to be talked about. From 9 points on opening night to 32 this week, what a jump Jacobs has made in such a small amount of time.

Honourable Mentions: Andre McDonald, Milad Gulam, Kyle William Edwards.
