Week 1 of Athletes Unlimited Basketball is in the books and on Sunday afternoon, Week 2 officially kicked off with the Week 2 Draft.
Captaining the Week 2 teams are Natasha Cloud (Gold), Lexie Brown (Orange), Isabelle Harrison (Blue) and Mercedes Russell (Purple).
Cloud, who accumulated 1,451 points, led all players with 35 assists for Team Carrington during Week 1. She picked up 650 win points from her team’s undefeated weekend and was named MVP 2 (60 additional points) each game.
Brown’s impressive week with Team Russell included a buzzer-beater trey to send the game into overtime against Team Carrington. She finished the week just over 100 points behind Cloud.
ICYMI @Lexiebrown made the #SCTop10 last night
While we think she could've been the top play, we'll take #3️⃣. @SportsCenter, we've got plenty of games left to find your top spot 😉#BeUnlimited | #AUHoops pic.twitter.com/PdQwPg1vUD
