News Title:  Performance Rankings: Week 7
 
 
 

#1 Terror Squad (7-0) When you're undefeated, no one can tell you anything. Terror Squad leads the league in scoring, three point percentage and free throw percentage. They are also second in field goal percentage and rebounds. The Squad has 6 players averaging double figure scoring and might possibly be the most skilled team in the league. Their only setback has been that leading scorer Flake Sanchez is done for the season having returned to play for the Mexican National Team. Walt, Emmett, Dre and the guys are still going to be a problem regardless. Bet.


#2  The Showstopperz (6-1) Another team with just a gang of talent. They operate on balance. The Showstopperz  have 7 players who average 6 points or more and are one of the few teams that are at their best when all nine players show up. They can matchup with anyone and are arguably the best defensive team in the league, leading all teams in rebounds, steals and blocked shots.


#3       Long Beach Knights (4-3) The Knights take care of the ball. They are number one in turnovers, partly because everyone knows their role and doesn’t stray too far from it. Their collective basketball IQ is quite high, which leads to very few mistakes. You’re not going to out-think the Knights too often, but as always it is possible to out-work them.


#4       D.A.W.G.S. (4-3) In contrast to The Knights, the Dawgs don’t take very good care of the basketball. They rank last in turnovers and commit more fouls per game than any other team. However, they beat the teams they’re supposed to beat. In fact, their only losses have come at the hands no. 1 and no.2 ranked teams in the league.


#5       Air Force (3-4*)  Another loaded team. They have five players averaging double figures, athleticism, shooting and the biggest man in the league. They have underachieved thus far because unlike the Knights they often make bad decisions with the basketball, but they have the ability to beat any team in the league.


#6       Ran By Faith (2-4*) This team is much better than their record. It has taken them a while to get settled, but we have seen signs of these guys being a problem. Four players average double figure scoring, they can shoot and they have great size. RBF is just one of those teams that may be a dangerous first round opponent assuming they make the playoffs.


#7       Supers (3-4) The Supers are not the defensive team they once were, but they are still a good measuring stick for the league. The problem is they aren’t used to being a measuring stick, they’re used to being the bullies. The addition of Brandon Jones and the re-emergence of Shomari Glasco gives them a chance to compete, but they’ll need more from everyone else if they are going to win.


#8       Do Work (2-4) Do Work, you’re not in Downey anymore. The reigning Downey champs, have had a tough go thus far and they aren’t used to it at all. They rank last in assists and second to last in rebounds. The one bright spot thus far has been league leading scorer Brandon Ross. Do Work, despite the slow start, has the experience to win when it counts.


#9       Street Legends (2-4) Adding Chris Isaac, Kenny Taylor and Ray Alexander might help make what was a playoff after thought of a team a legitimate threat to finish in the top 8. Devan Jones has not played at an All Show level, but the additions may give him more room to operate. They’ll definitely help Mauri Mejia.


#10   Mohicans (0-6)The Mohicans rank either last or in the bottom three in 6 different categories. The most glaring is their 36.7 ppg average. They have shown flashes, but simply can’t put enough points on the board to get a W. The team plays with a great amount of heart and energy, but it’ll take more than that to win a game. The way things are looking, Mohicans may go winless, unless they get a forfeit victory. Yeah, it’s that bad.



*Record pending result of Week 8 replay.
