PBA Team Power Ranking 7.0: Magnolia and TNT are still top 2?



We were given more than a week to digest the numbers. So, how should we rank them according to their chance of winning the championship? 

#10 Northport (Last #10 last ranking)
I wonder if Garvo Lanete also considered the possibility of an upcoming farm team trade again by Northport with his decision to retire.

#9 Rain or Shine (Last #9 last ranking)
The 2-3 start of Rain or Shine is a little bit concerning. Also, Henry Walker is just playing average and it seems like Rain or Shine will not change import.

#8 Phoenix (Last #6 last ranking)
The short-term injury of Paul Harris forces me to push Phoenix down in this ranking. Also, I am hoping they will find a way to keep Matthew Wright.

#7 Alaska (Last #7 last ranking)
They are 11th in terms of scoring and just shooting 39% from the field. Defense wins championship but they also need to support that with a competent offense.

#6 San Miguel (Last #8 last ranking)
Actually, Brandon Brown just played his best game with San Miguel. But, Orlando Johnson seems to be the kind of import that coach Leo will flourish with.

#5 Meralco (Last #5 last ranking)
They will have a busy 2nd half of the tournament. I just hope that the injury bug will not ruin their tournament.

#4 NLEX (Last #4 last ranking)
I am not worried about their defeat at the hand of Phoenix. They still averaging the 2nd most points per game.

#3 Barangay Ginebra (Last #3 last ranking)|
The news that Stanley Pringle did not suffer an ACL is a good thing for this run of Ginebra. But the question now is, can Ginebra win a championship without Japeth Aguilar?

#2 TNT (Last #2 last ranking)
So, TNT will change their import to Aaron Fuller. And that basically means that NLEX and TNT traded import and NLEX easily won that trade.

#1 Magnolia (Last #1 last ranking)
Magnolia is unbelievable in their first three games. Although, it is shocking that they are doing it more on offense, than in defense. I think, we need to highlight the fact that Jio Jalalon is currently averaging 7.3 assists per game, the third-best in the league.
