1. Warriors (3-0) 4 time champion and 1 time MVP Derrick Jordan brings back the core of the 2016 champions and adds big Mike Terry (16PPG), former MVP Andy Burns and Brian Rodehaver. The Warriors are the early favorites to repeat in 2017 but last year’s MVP Aaron Pennington is a no show through 3 games holding out for a hire salary. Brent Jackson (22.5), Demarius Gulley (17) and Alvin Bailey (12.5) all having great starts with high shooting percentages. Travis Roark (8PPG) is strong on the boards. Warriors have a bye 6/25
2. Kings (2-0) Greg Cherry’s Kings not happy with their outcome in 2016 went and got player for hire Justin Coleman to get back to the championship for the 2nd time in 3 years and like Jordan go for their 5th since ABL starting 9 years ago. The never aging Frank Lee former MVP already with (21), Marcquis Foley (27), former MVP Fleming (9.5) and Stacey Jackson (16). Lakers coming off a big win vs. Lakers play Butler and the Suns this week where they will be a 16 point favorite.
3. Lakers (1-1) former MVP and one time champion Anthony Williams (20) is playing lights out so far this season. Add front runner MVP for 2017 Randle Pennington (24.5), sharpshooting Bryan Taylor (22) and the Lakers are set for a run in 2017. Problem is star Kyle Miller is yet to show for a game and word on the street is he missed practice all week. If player/coach Brice Kearns can get hold out Miller back on board this team will be hard to beat.
4. Hawks (0-1) embarrassed week 1 against Lakers so bad they threw in the towel still come in at number 4. This year’s version of the Hawks have a loaded roster that has not all shown up yet. Last year’s MVP runner up Adam Yeager (22) brings back most of the 2016 roster with exception of lost free agents Eric Butler and Casey Jones who decided to reform their old franchise (Suns). Yeager brings back 9 year vet Bobby Evans (30), PJ Rase, and Brennan Hall (9) adding former MVP Taylor Allen, Evan Salyers and Austin McMaster. This team has been to the finals 5 times but has never been able to bring home “the shirt”
5. 76ers (0-0) Robby Pugh and his crew traveling over the hills and through the woods putting together an Appalachian all-star team from Gallia, Jackson and Meigs county’s. Coming into 2017 salty after an early exit from the ABL playoffs look to be reloaded. Haggerty, Davis and Frazier all looking to standout.
6. Pelicans (3-1) Johnson & Carter both averaging (34 PPG) have the best guard duo in the league had to forfeit their only loss to #1 Warriors last week. Stewart (11.7), Payne (10) and Hern (13.3) gives a small but high scoring starting 5.
7. Heat (2-0) The Heat finally return back to the ABL from a 3 year hiatus. Combs (9) brings a loaded roster with Copley (20), Skeens (18) bruit Lane (12.5) defensive specialist Adam Elmer (11) and former MVP candidate Chris Lovley (16.5) Combs said “anything short of a championship will be a failure.”
8. Clippers (2-0) the high energy team of Rowe (10), Baldwin (19.9), Collins (14), and Bare (9) firing on all cylinders are off to a great start. The adding of Fuller makes this team really strong. This week they have a huge matchup with #6 Pelicans to see if they belong in the elite 8.
