An unexpected treat this week: While catching up on some YouTube subscriptions over the weekend, it dawned on me that the always excellent Mo Dakhil was posting regular Power Rankings this season.
Mo does outstanding work explaining the X’s and O’s of NBA basketball. I highly recommend his YouTube channel (linked in Sources, below), and catching him on the plethora of podcasts where you might find his name.
Anyway, I was delighted to add a seventh data source to my graphs — I’m a big fan of odd numbers in design. And despite posting his rankings on the same day of the week as two other sources, there’s been surprisingly little overlap so far.
My only complaint, if you want to call it that, is that his brand, like so many others represented here, doesn’t have any color. So, I somewhat arbitrarily chose a green line. Mo, if you’re reading and you care, tell me your favorite color and maybe I’ll use that instead. As long as your favorite color isn’t black or gray. Or white.
Enjoy Week 7 Rankings!
