That’s pretty impressive; it’s also not necessarily a good thing. (Photo by Layne Murdoch/NBAE via Getty Images)
NBA Power Rankings – November 4, 201320. Atlanta Hawks (1-2)Led by Jeff Teague, the Hawks have six players averaging double figures. But can this team make the playoffs? (Photo by Noah Graham/NBAE via Getty Images)
NBA Power Rankings – November 4, 201321. Denver Nuggets (0-2)At 48 rebounds per game – third-best in the NBA – the Nuggets are getting it done on the glass, just not the win column. (Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)

NBA Power Rankings – November 4, 201324. Cleveland Cavaliers (1-2)Not a great start for Kyrie Irving, who’s shooting .340 percent from the floor (17-of-50) and .125 (1-of-8) from three-point range. (Photo by Kent Smith/NBAE via Getty Images)
NBA Power Rankings – November 4, 201325. Sacramento Kings (1-2)DeMarcus Cousins has been great so far – team-highs in points (20.7), rebounds (10.3), steals (2.7) and blocks (1.3) – but let’s see how he reacts when the osses pile. (Photo by Garrett W. Ellwood/NBAE via Getty Images)
NBA Power Rankings – November 4, 201326. Charlotte Bobcats (1-2)Can’t score (28th in the league), can’t rebound (26th), can’t pass (27th). Hello, lottery. (Photo by Layne Murdoch Jr./NBAE via Getty Images)
NBA Power Rankings – November 4, 201327. Milwaukee Bucks (1-2)The Bucks, with six players averaging between 10 and 13 points, have a lot of so-so players – certainly no great ones, and very few good ones. (Photo by Mike McGinnis/Getty Images)
