Week 5 Baller of the week

Baller of the week: Never thought I'd see the day where Alvin (A-rod) Caruso wins Baller of the week. Sadly, it has to be said that he exposed team Jarboe and there's really no way around it. He dropped 23 points and was the leading scorer for the day. As expected, Bradley was struggling with such a tough match up so he had to resort to passing (this is rare for him). This let Alvin get plenty of open looks and he simply couldn't miss. Bit of a mystery how he slipped down the draft even though he's better than his brother who was the #1 overall pick.

Honorable Mentions:
Jem Booth may have not scored the most this week, or many points at all, but when you haven't scored all game and your teams down 3 points with 7 seconds left in the game, it takes a world of confidence to take the final shot. That's exactly what he did and it looked pure the instant it left his hand. A bank three by Jem sent them into overtime and the crowd absolutely loved it. Congrats Jem.

Jake Strauss was getting his calls on his way to the hoop and got a good portion of his points from the charity stripe. He was a vital part of the team Strauss win which propels them into 2nd place in the standings. His aggressive defense made it hard for Derek to get things going and also his ability to draw fouls contributed to both Derek and Ryan Bernard fouling out.
