Basketball S2: Meet the Week 4 Teams
Throughout the 3-year history of Athletes Unlimited, Week 4 has been a defining factor in that season’s Champion. That means who you choose to align yourself with in the penultimate week of competition becomes that much more important.
A fourth-quarter comeback by the Gold squad on Saturday night secured Odyssey Sims the No. 1 spot for the third-consecutive week. Sims (4,347) leads the league in scoring with 242 points and assists (77). She is the first player in Athletes Unlimited Basketball history to reach 500 career points.
NaLyssa Smith (4,062) remains in orange and sits 285 points behind Sims. Smith leads the league in rebounds with 111 and third in points (194).
First-time captain Kierstan Bell (3,623) slots into the No. 3 spot. Bell scored a season-high 24 points on Saturday night and was named MVP 1 for an additional 90 points. She ranks third in three-pointers (37). Week 4 will be the first week Bell and Sims will not play together this season.
Naz Hillmon drops to the No. 4 spot this week with 3,622 points – only one point behind Bell. She ranks third in rebounds (87) and has tallied 144 points this season.
