1. Ra and Friends 11-3 (4)
Only lost once this past week. Unlike some superstars, Ra does a very nice job of getting his teammates involved. Tayshawn Richmond and Lionel Uzuho have been lights out from behind the arc and Sam Nicholson has been a solid crunch-time scorer all year long.
2. Ballers 9-4 (2)
The Love-Els upset them early in the week, but they only lost once more after that. Captain DJ Langston has somewhat disrupted team chemistry by putting Gary Barker and Kyra Kemp on the trading block. Both players were not too pleased when they heard rumors that they were going to be shipped to the Wizards for Steven Dean. Langston needs to make sure that any future talks prior to Monday's trade deadline stay behind closed doors. P.S. Antonio Holloway may have earned himself first-team all defensive team honors with his play this week.
3. Polo 10-3 (1)
Marcus Giles is the unsung hero of this team. He does all the little things that often times go unnoticed. This team is good and has a ton of talent, but they are prone to suspensions. Everyone will have to be on their best behavior, otherwise the Warriors just might walk away with the 4th Period title.
4. The Thunder 8-5 (6)
Latrell Atwood runs the show for the Thunder, but Qwentis Owney pulls the strings behind the scenes that make the thunder a contender. On any given night, this team could beat you with their size and athleticism.
5. Warriors 8-5 (10)
Kolahjo Okanlawon matches up well with Polo's Santario Mitchell, but if it weren't for Ronald Confer, Deandre Washington, and Malachi Ferrell, the Warriors would have much fewer wins. Taquoya Williamson is the best kept secret in the KPL, but I have a feeling she will be a secret no longer after she records her league best, 5th double-double later this week.
6. Unnamed 8-4 (5)
Even with Hollins sitting out a game, while trying to prove his value as a player, the Unnamed's kept rolling on Friday. It's hard not to, when you got the likes of Alishia Peters and Ben Moore patrolling the airways.
7. The Wizards 7-6 (7)
The good news for the Wizards is that they have not dropped any spots in the rankings, the bad news is that captain Steven Dean wants out of dodge. Apparently, Mr. Dean is unhappy with the Wizards' management, which ironically is presided over by none other then himself. He supposedly had a deal worked out which would send him to the Ballers last Friday, but the trade did not make it past the league office.
8. Team All-Star 7-4 (3)
This team has dropped dramatically in the rankings after their blistering start in week one. Absences and no dresses have killed this team. All is not lost because they still have one of the best starting fives in the league. Dante "Lil Artest" Jones is not the type of person that you'd want to mess with on the court.
9. 5-Star Kings 7-5 (12)
The Kings are a team on the rise, playing their best basketball late in the season. They are on a hot streak and will be tough match-up for anyone come playoff time. I'm going to make a bold prediction, this team will win the 7th period KPL championship.
10. The Other Guys 7-7 (8)
The team has slipped a bit this past week and haven't been using Noelle McCollum or Toni Scott correctly. With female baskets now worth three points, Noelle and Toni should be getting a majority of the shots. Do you really want to win, or are you just trying to improve your scoring averages?
11. The Celtics 6-7 (9)
This team has the talent, they just are not clicking on all cylinders right now. If they ever figure it out, LOOK OUT.
12. Unity 5-9 (13)
This team improved dramatically in week 2 with everyone figuring out their roll. I've been really impressed with Requean Powell's play-making ability. We all knew he could score, but we didn't realize how great of a passer he was until this week. Willie Brown has been a beast on the glass and Kyron Lockwood has all the intangibles which makes this team a sleeper.
13. Chaos 5-9 (11)
Kendal Malone delivers whenever he is given an opportunity.
14. Shut it Down 4-9 (16)
This team has created an identity for itself as a tough, scrappy, hard-nosed, defensive team. This new attitude lead them to a respectable 4 and 4 week. Ebony Wilson and Yashae Bonds play a physical brand of basketball and have established "No Blood, No Foul" as their motto.
15. The Love Els 2-11 (14)
Play in an extremely tough league and have come up on the short end of some extremely bad calls by quasi-referee Maley.
16. Team Taylor 2-11 (15)
Looking forward to their roll as Cinderella in the playoffs.
