UOSL Top 5 Power Rankings Sims 1-3
1.
Record-14-2
Key Performers
Kevin Durant 23 PPG, 7.7 RPG, .506 FG%
Jaylen McLeary 21 PPG 15 RPG
The Nets are on a tear in the early stages of the 2026 season. After a busy offseason Brooklyn is in position to compete for the title come playoff time. With a stifling defense and newly aquired vet Kevin Durant (aquired after a short stint in Minnesota) this team has seemingly done no wrong. With a mix of youth and experiance the Nets are much improved from last season, and in a much better financial situation than last year. The time is now for the Nets to win a title, next year may bring a completely different Net team with Durant in the final year of a 27 million dollar contract and many other expirings in the fold. At the age of 37 Mr. Durant is out for blood in the journey for his first championship.

Record 12-3
Key Performers
Jordan Price 31 PPG 8 RPG .513 FG%
Jordan Washington 23 PPG
K.C. Ross Miller 15 PPG 9 APG
With UOSL's leading scorer going into sim 4 carrying this Laker squad L.A. is in good hands. After aquiring K.C. Ross Miller for a one season deal in a sign and trade with the Hornets the Lakers were poised to go into this season as a top team looking to make a long playoff run. However the pressure is on to take the title this year, Ross Miller is likely staying for only one season with no bird years to help the Lakers to resign him. The only weakness I see on this team is in the post. Not much depth, mostly solid role players at the moment. Any injuries to the frontcourt could dramatically hurt this team. Other than that they are overly solid at the wings and SF spot. Not many teams can compete with the 1-2 scoring punch of "Team Jordan".

Key Performers
J-Mychal Reese 24 PPG 2.5 SPG 2 BPG
The key performers pretty much says it all. J-Mychal Reese is the Indiana Pacers. Don't get me wrong the Pacers have some solid talent around him but without him the Pacers would be stuck in shit creek without a paddle. Without making some moves I dont really feel this team has enough impact players aside from Reese to compete with the Nets or Lakers in a seven game series. The defense is fine on this team but they could use another offensive punch to account for the loss of Ross Miller.
4.
Record 12-6
Key Performers
Dean Danos 29 PPG 2 SPG
Ricky Roberts 17 PPG 6 RPG 8 APG
The backcourt duo of Roberts/Danos is doing wonders for the Clips this year. Roberts has emerged as a very good starting caliber PG, upping his point and assist totals by +4 and +2 from last season. All around L.A.C. is solid, lack of depth may prove to be their downfall come playoff time but as of now their SL is holding down the court. Not a contender without another move or two to bring in some solid play off the bench.
5.
Record 11-7
Key Performers
Allonzo Trier 29 PPG 9 APG
Art Kimber 26 PPG 4 SPG
The Warriors are off to a sloppy start after an amazing year last season but as long as Trier is on this team and healthy the Warriors are a team to reckon with. Their frontcourt is lacking like some other teams but with a couple moves this team could be right back in the hunt for a title. With over half of their team on the last year of their deals G.S. will have a hectic offseason no matter the outcome of this year. I fully expect them to make a move sometime soon though to try and bring in some more talent around their very solid backcourt.
