INDI WORLD 2

INDI World2 is going on in San Diego right now with Thunderstruck playing Butler Elite.  Here's my ratings of the teams and predictions for this evening's games, including the one going on right now.

I expect Butler to beat Thunderstruck by 15.  (Butler won by 4)
Butler will turn around an hour later and beat ATX Knights by 7. (Butler lost by 3).
Seattle Select will lose to NY Dragons by 1 although it could go either way. (Dragons won by 5).
Vegas Elite will lose to Seattle Rotary by 2 although it is also a nearly even game. (Vegas won by 1 but I expect they will play Rotary in the final in a dogfight rematch).

Vegas Elite NV 125.8 
Seattle Select Warriors 8 WA 126.5
New York Dragons NY 127.5
Florida Future FL 104.9
ATX Knights Premier TX 102.0
Butler Elite IN 109.1
We Will Win 106.9
Seattle Rotary WA 128.4
Thunderstruck FL 94.5
San Diego Slayers CA 100.4
Lock Up Select CA 92.7
Up & Under CA 90.1

    So, after two days of tournament play, the rankings have tightened up. Vegas Elite plays the winner of the New York Dragons and Seattle Rotary game. All three are at 127+ ranking. You can't predict these games. One turnover could decide the winner.
    Here's my recalculation of ratings:
    Vegas Elite NV 127.9
    Seattle Select Warriors 8 WA 125.7
    New York Dragons NY 127.5
    Florida Future FL 104.9
    ATX Knights Premier TX 117.2
    Butler Elite IN 105.0
    We Will Win 106.6
    Seattle Rotary WA 127.8
    Thunderstruck FL 95.2
    San Diego Slayers CA 100.4
    Lock Up Select CA 92.2
    Up & Under CA 90.1

      Rotary beat Dragons by 11, 52-41. Expect Rotary to come back for a little payback vs. Vegas Elite, after losing by one. I pick Rotary by 3 in the final.

      I really missed on Vegas Elite and Rotary as Vegas won by 12. But Vegas Elite solidified their number 1 rating on my algorithm.

2021 / 16U FINAL TOP 250 BOYS BASKETBALL RANKINGS AUGUST 2019

Yesterday, I posted the rankings for the very elite adidas Gauntlet Finale in sunny California in late July, won by a surging Team Marcus Smart/YGC 36 team that dominated a classy field, including the highly rated Atlantic Celtics.  Many polls have had Philly Pride rated at #1 after their championship down in Alabama in the UAA finale.  Pride is also a very, very good team. If you put these two teams on a court tomorrow, my ratings tell me that they could play seven games and they would be 3-3 going into the seventh game.  In fact, if you put the top twelve teams in a tournament, you would have about the same chance of picking the winner as drawing a Jack out of a deck of cards (1 in 12 or 4 in 52 or about 8%). Every big sponsor has their special finale tournament.  You will probably never get a big Finale with all the top teams.  We will never know who is really #1.  But for right now, based on my algorithm, I give a slight nod of the mathematical equa...

JULY 14U/8th Grade USA Rankings

I have updated my 14U/8th grade rankings prior to some big tournaments coming up.  The top 25 are all rock solid teams and any one of them could win any of the upcoming tournaments.  I am not going to differentiate the 14U and 8th grade ratings because that would take a whole lot of work to investigate all of the teams that might have 15 or 16 year olds playing on an 8th grade team because they have been held back for academic or other reasons. The Larry Hughes Basketball Academy Select team coached by Eric Bain (my grandson plays for him) is my anchor to these ratings at 100 (now ranked 249).  I have tried to list teams by state but some may be associated with the tournament state that they played in. So enjoy the ratings and let me know what you think: July 18 Rankimgs Rank Team   State Rating 1 Maryland's Finest MD 132.4 2 New World    MD 131.8 3 Sabers Lock Up CA 131...
