New Jersey (North): Cordoba (D2)

Power Ranking Trend

Power Ranking By Week
WEEK RECORD RANK COMMENTS
Week 9 6-3 4

They are essentially unbeatable when Kenny and Luke get it done down low - that is where they need to play their game. In their 3 losses, they’ve shot 25 or more 3s. In their 6 wins, they attempted less than 25 3s. Cordoba doesn’t shoot it at a bad percentage, they do though sometimes fall too in love with the deep ball. Against Lahore, it may have just been a result of a halftime deficit they were trying to quickly overcome. Their half court offense running through the bigs with an occasional kick out three would be far more effective and difficult to guard.
Week 8 6-2 3

Two losses, both without Luke, both probably wins with him. Should’ve found a way to beat Beirut, but Beirut played with a chip off their shoulder following a hard fought loss to Kazan. With Luke, they could, and should, be 8-0. This team is the real deal.
Week 7 6-1 1

May not be the popular opinion, but they have the best record and best win thus far. Thriller against Mombasa in a game that could’ve gone either way. Difference was essentially possession and the three ball. Cordoba controlled most of the game, more importantly, the second half. Add to that five more makes from downtown and that 6 point deficit was quickly erased. They’ve come a long way from that week 1 blowout loss - Luke in an MVP worthy player and Kenny looking like “30+ Division Kenny.” Add to that an overall huge lineup and they’re a tremendous team. They have two tough games coming up, either their stay at the top with be short-lived or it will be solidified.
Week 6 5-1 3

Yeah they are for real.
Week 5 4-1 9

Quietly getting it done.
Week 4 3-1 12

They might have something here.
Week 3 2-1 14

Got a good win against a solid team. Big time performance from Ken, who is definitely in the running for POW. Need to see a bit more from the rest of the team because as good as Kenneth is, he isn’t 25 and 17 week in week out good. (Had a typo last week, Cordoba was supposed to be 19, not 10. Sorry for that)
Week 2 1-1 19

Didn’t see too much of their game due to the Baghdad Amman game being extremely entertaining. Luke appears to be a good player.
Week 1 0-1 20

Didn’t have enough fire power to match Sana’a, but also didn’t play enough defense to keep it interesting.
