Go ahead and buy yourself something nice if you happened to listen to Nels during the GMTR [this time it counts] mock draft. His team 4 jumped into the lead yesterday, led by more man than child man-child Mehmet Okur and backed up by Charlie Villanueva, Kevin Garnett, and this has got to be too good to last Ron Artest (whose averaging about 19 steals a game right now). With that lineup, it’s not surprising team 4 leads the league in steals, as well as rebounds and assists (primarily thanks to a Chauncey Billups/TJ Ford combo). Surprisingly, team 4 also leads the league in FT%, ahead of team 9 and what I thought would be the deadly FT combination of Steve Nash and Ray Allen.
Here’s where the league stands as of 11/7.
| Team | PTS |
| 1. Team 4 | 66.0 |
| 2. Team 9 | 62.5 |
| 3. Deuces Wild | 52.5 |
| 4. Team 1 | 43.0 |
| 5. Eight is Great | 42.5 |
| 6. Lucky 7 | 40.5 |
| 7. Deep Six | 35.5 |
| 8. Team 3 | 34.0 |
| 9. Team In10thity | 32.5 |
| 10. Team 5 | 31.0 |
