Power Rankings: Week 5

1.) Dawson (5-0)
I've had Team Dawson at the top from the start. They are solid top to bottom, and Conor Enright has emerged as a legitimate go-to scorer. Most of their players have played together for a long time, and it shows.

2.) Stewart (5-0)
Mark Robinson and Noah Burkholz provide the best one-two punch in the league. Some of their lower round picks have missed a few games, which has probably helped a little. Either way, they are easily the biggest team and will win the rebounding battle over any team.

3.) Calderan (4-1)
Kevin Thompson has emerged as a legitimate scoring threat, putting up 20 points in two of his last three games. With the help of Mark Lavallee and Nick Longo, Team Calderan has been on a three game winning streak.

4.) Hill (5-0)
The Hill Brothers have been even better than advertised, and they should only get stronger with the return of Lou Dinkel.

5.) Werner (2-3)
After a tough start, Team Werner is rejuvenated thanks to the efforts of Curran Huff. If Devin Goudey, Matt Plausse, and Huff can play up to their potential, they should continue to climb the ranks.

6.) DeLuca (3-2)
During their three game winning streak, they have played very strongly as a team. Tim Boudreau has been a nice surprise.

7.) Fotino (2-3)
I'm cautiously optimistic about Team Fotino, they have played well together the past few weeks. Their two game winning streak has certainly been a confidence boost, and they could definitely win their next four games (Hegeman, Mahan, O'Malley, Debreceni, respectively).

8.) Wright (4-1)
Struggled last week against Team Fotino. I'm not all that high on them be honest, but you have to respect their 4-1 record.

9.) Jarboe (2-3)
They have been a big disappointment so far, resulting from poor bench play. However, I think they still have the talent to turn it around.

10.) Stevens (1-4)
Team Stevens has lost it's four games by an average of 4.25 points each, so we've certainly been in every game. The problem has been closing games out, who is going to take the final shot of the game with the clock running down?

11.) MacLeod (1-4)
With Tynan MacLeod out due to a wrist injury, they will still benefit from a rotating player to lead the charge in Tynan's place.

12.) Icenogle (2-3)
Team Icenogle has emphasized how well they have played as a team in their two wins. They have played better than I expected, thanks to a solid effort from Matt Ferro at the point.

13.) O'Malley (3-2)
With Shane O'Malley out with a fractured fibula, they are in trouble. I am ranking them this low, assuming that they will not receive a replacement player like Team MacLeod. 

14.) Hegeman (1-4)
Anthony Cotoni has had to carry the load thus far, and unless someone else can step up and give them a scoring boost, they're in trouble.
 
15.) Debreceni (0-5)
With the lack of a second scoring threat, opposing defenses have resorted to doubling Dustin McEvoy. Mike Allen needs to share some of the load if they are going to win a few games.

16.) Mahan (0-5)
Mike Shea and Tim Grove are a solid top two, but they have missed a few games between them, which has led Team Mahan with very little offensive fire power.

Bad move with team Omalley PJ, with or without Shane they won't loose another game for the rest of the season
