Stats Power Rankings 11/13/2024

Notable Risers

* The Suns (+5) rise to the top of the West and the 4th spot overall after wins against Dallas, Utah, and two wins against the Kings. They probably got more credit than they should for beating a Jazz team that's without Mitchell, but have fully recovered from an early loss to Dallas that remains their only loss to date. 
* The Bulls (+8) have quickly established themselves as a competitor in the East with a laudable 9-2 record. They beat Dallas, a surprise Atlanta team, the Cavs, and the Knicks to earn 7th place in this week's rankings. 
* The 8th-place Knicks (+8), despite losing to the Bulls, have picked up some impressive wins themselves, including a 22-point win over Indiana and a 33-point win over the Bucks. 
* The Cavaliers (+11) got off to a shaky start this season but blew out New Orleans and the Warriors in back-to-back games. They are still dropping games for some reason, but the advanced stats say things might turn around. For now they're a respectable 11th.

Notable Fallers

* The Timberwolves started hot, but an injury to Fox and back-to-back (honestly, embarrassing) losses to the Trail Blazers really did them in, power rankings wise. They now stand in 16th.
* The Pelicans continue to struggle, and while last power rankings were optimistic about this team, they continue to show that they're just not that good. They're allowing over 118 points per game, and have fallen to 21st.
* The Hawks led the East for a few days there, but their hot start has cooled off significantly. They're on a 4 game losing streak that knocks them down to 12th.

Not Chris 2025 NBN Mock Draft

Welcome to my 2025 NBN Mock Draft, which will definitely be outdated by the time I publish it! Not projecting any trades because teams are crazy and too hard to predict. TLDR at bottom.  1. Houston Rockets - Cooper Flagg, F, Duke No brainer here. Flagg is by far the best player in this draft, and one of the best prospects we’ve seen in the last 10 years. Houston’s tank paid off, and they get a do-it-all forward with a Jordan-esque competitive drive to build around.  2. Charlotte Hornets - Dylan Harper, G, Rutgers Charlotte pulled a stunner earlier this week, trading picks 5, 6, and Zach Edey to Dallas for the #2 pick, where they will likely select Dylan Harper. Harper is a 6’6 intelligent guard with All-Star upside. He will pair nicely with Paolo Banchero as another dynamic playmaker with scoring punch, this time with more shooting upside. This move signals Charlotte’s intent to move off All-Star LaMelo Ball (who they sneakily gave up a lot for; Stephon Castle, Nik...

Confused Wolves Players Arrive in LA to Find RJ Playing Ancient Chinese Instrument Atop Crypto.com Arena

LOS ANGELES - The Wolves team bus pulled into an empty Crypto.com Arena parking lot this morning in anticipation of their 9/10-seed Play-In matchup. However, players and coaches deboarding the bus were shocked to find the entire lot completely empty and silent, with the exception of the faint sounds of ancient Chinese songs being played on a guqin .  The confused group soon located the source of the sound; Lakers owner RJ could be seen seated on the arena's rooftop, engrossed in his performance. "It was unsettling, to be honest," admitted Timberwolves star Domantas Sabonis. "RJ is a smart and cunning owner, and seeing his relaxed composure as he played beautiful Chinese traditional music made it clear to us that the Lakers were more than prepared to challenge us." RJ's bluff was also made more compelling due to the Lakers' inexplicable free agency signings leading up to the play-in. "We noticed, and [RJ] knows it, too," said Wolves owner Jonny....
