Welcome to the Blazers Uprise NBA Power Rankings: Week 5!
Everyone’s individual rankings are combined into a master list by determining the average between all of our contributions. Look for a new ranking every Monday. Each rankings will show the team’s record as well as their change compared to last week (green means progress, red means regression).
This week includes rankings from the following writers: Torey Jones (TJ), Eric Brandt (EB), Zachary Thelus (ZT), Spencer Poole (SP), Reece Kewley (RK), Connor McIntosh (CM), and Shervin Fotouhi (SF).
