AU Pro Basketball Season 5 Draft Results: Meet the Week 2 Teams

The Week 2 captains were determined by the top four point-earners on the weekly leaderboard. More information on the captain selection process is available here.

Guard Kaitlyn Chen leads a group of three first-time captains after earning the right to guide Gold Rush into Week Two. Chen enjoyed a stellar start to her AU Pro Basketball career by collecting 1,583 leaderboard points while helping Eclipse post a perfect 3-0 record.

Guard Rebekah Gardner also makes her debut in the captain’s seat, serving as the leader for Glow in Week Two. Gardner compiled 1,529 leaderboard points to finish the first weekly segment in second place. She also contributed 12.3 points per game for Eclipse while converting 14-of-19 field goal attempts.

Rhythm will be piloted by forward Aneesah Morrow in Week Two after the AU Pro Basketball newcomer closed the inaugural week of the campaign in third place on the leaderboard with 1,434 leaderboard points. Morrow was the league’s sixth-leading scorer with a 14.3 average while tying for fourth in the circuit with 9.3 rebounds per game.

Forward Alysha Clark, who stands fifth on the leaderboard, will be looking to build off a perfect 3-0 week in her debut as a captain while anchoring Eclipse for the second straight week. Forward Asia Taylor holds the No. 4 position after Week One, but is ineligible to serve as a captain due to missing the draft for personal reasons.
