Week 1 of Season 3 of Athletes Unlimited did not disappoint, highlighted by a dominant showing from Allisha Gray and undefeated Team Gray. Week 2 tips off on Thursday, with Gray, Tiffany Mitchell, Natasha Cloud and Odyssey Sims captaining four new teams. Let’s take a look at the rosters and schedule for Week 2.
Team Gray (Gold)
Allisha Gray, Emily Engstler, Rae Burrell, Air Hearn, Kalani Brown, Haley Jones, Sequoia Holmes, Suriya McGuire, Caliya Robinson, Theresa Plaisance
It was a record-setting Week 1 for Allisha Gray. She finished with 2,011 points, the second-highest single-week total in AU Pro Basketball history and only the second time a player has surpassed 2,000 points in a single week.
Gray totaled 2,011 AU points, just the 2nd week in AU Basketball history where a player had 2,000+ AU points (Tianna Hawkins, 2022 Week 2 – 2,024). https://t.co/21HMBR4eXq

Earning the Gold captaincy, Gray has compiled a team capable of helping her turn in another fantastic week. She smartly grabbed Emily Engstler with her first pick. In her AU debut, Engstler showed why she’s intrigued women’s hoops fans and analysts as a potential high-impact WNBA player, doing a bit of everything—including accumulating the most blocks points in Week 1. Team Gray could be a terror defensively; five players—Gray, Engstler, Rae Burrell, Sequoia Holmes and Theresa Plaisance—earned 60 or more steals points last week.
Team Mitchell (Orange)
Tiffany Mitchell, Sydney Colson, Teana Muldrow, Grace Berger, Maddy Siegrist, Angel McCoughtry, Laurin Mincy, Dorie Harrison, Taj Cole, Whitney Knight
Tiffany Mitchell moves from Team Gray to the captain of the Orange squad. Last week, Mitchell was on fire, leading AU with 380 points from made 2-pointers and finishing third with 210 points from made 3-pointers.
Mitchell drafted a balanced team that should set her up for more scoring success. Look for vibes queen Sydney Colson and AU debutante Grace Berger to set up Mitchell for scores; Colson and Berger both earned at least 120 assists points last week. WNBA vet Angel McCoughtry brings her signature defensive playmaking to the AU court, earning 60 steals points and 50 blocks points in her first set of AU games.
Team Cloud (Blue)
Natasha Cloud, Adut Bulgak, Lexie Hull, Lexie Brown, Ty Young, Bashaara Graves, Destinee Walker, Akela Maize, Isabelle Harrison, MeMe Jackson
