Week 1 is in the books, and it’s time to run it back. Jose Salviati, editor at thePeachBasket.net, counts down the only objective NBA power rankings anywhere. The Oklahoma City Thunder start on top, and the Memphis Grizzlies jump 22 spots behind a scorching Ty Jerome.
Jose runs through the week’s statistical leaders: Ty Jerome’s 36.5 points per game, Anthony Edwards from three, Domantas Sabonis on the glass, Trae Young’s assists, a three-way tie in blocks between Walker Kessler, Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama, and Dyson Daniels in steals. He previews the week’s marquee matchup, as the Knicks visit the 76ers looking to avoid an 0 and 2 hole. In Full Court Press, Jose explains why he’s Team Yaxel after the Warriors rookie called out Luka Dončić. He also covers the reaction from Naji Marshall and around the league, and why the October 30 Lakers vs. Warriors game is a must watch.
