There’s only one week of Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball remaining and big performances like the ones on display in Week Three will determine who finishes in the Top 4 on the leaderboard.

It was all vibes for Team Sims in purple, who went a perfect 3-0. Team Cloud finished the week 2-1, while Team Gray went 1-2. Team Mitchell did not pick up a victory and earned only 180 win points from three quarter wins.

Take a deep dive into the leaderboard standings heading into Week Four.

Mover of the Week: Isabelle Harrison

Isabelle Harrison returned to the court in Week Two after undergoing surgery to repair a torn left meniscus in May of 2023.

Since being activated she’s played limited minutes but dropped a career-high 41 points on Thursday night with 13 rebounds and two assists. That performance earned her 832 leaderboard points, including MVP 1 honors as Team Cloud defeated Team Mitchell 105-101 in overtime.

She climbed 12 spots on the leaderboard into 23rd place with 2,458 overall leaderboard points entering Week Four.

All Vibes for the Purple Squad

Team Sims went undefeated in Week Three, picking up 960 win points for each player. Three players made big moves on the leaderboard entering the final week of AU Pro Basketball Season 3.

Kierstan Bell rose seven spots on the leaderboard into the fourth captain’s position. This is the second time in Bell’s AU career that she will serve as a captain and the first time this season. She collected 1,775 leaderboard points, including a season-high 698 leaderboard point performance on Sunday, with two MVP 1 honors.

Rising five spots was Air Hearn, who posted a season-best 656 stat points across Week Three. She also scored a career-high 25 points on Thursday against Team Gray with five 3-pointers.

Making History: Sims Records Second Triple-Double in league history

In addition to captaining her team to a perfect week, Odyssey Sims recorded the second triple-double in league history on Sunday with 21 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists.

She earned a season-high 772 leaderboard points and sits No. 2 on the leaderboard 855 points behind Allisha Gray.

Natasha Cloud recorded the league’s first triple-double during the 2023 season.

Champion Watch: Allisha Gray

Allisha Gray has been at the top of the leaderboard since the start of the season and while she leads the league in several statistical categories, she’s in a league of her own for MVP points.

She’s been named an MVP in eight of nine games this season and has 690 MVP points entering Week Four, including seven MVP 1 nods and one MVP 2 honors. She’s one MVP 2 honor away from tying Tianna Hawkins’ record of 750 MVP points in a season set in Season 1. 

Gray was the second-highest leaderboard points earner (1,988) in Week Three, aided by 38, 42, and 36-point performances.

She’s the player to beat as she aims to become the AU Pro Basketball Season 3 Champion.
