My analysis
There are plenty of recognizable names and faces on both rosters. 3’s Company is led by Michael Beasley, the No. 2 pick in the 2008 NBA Draft. He’s had a monster year in the BIG3, tied for the most total field goals made while ranking third in scoring.
Beasley was a wrecking ball in the semi-final, scoring 32 points and grabbing 16 rebounds in a 50-47 win over the Enemies to get to the title game.
Teammate Mario Chalmers — a mainstay on those Miami Heat title teams in the 2010s — finished Top 4 in both assists and 3-point makes. Meanwhile, Reggie Evans does the heavy lifting on the glass, tied for third in rebounding.
For Bivouac, they’re led by basketball lifer Corey Brewer, who arguably had the best all-around season in the BIG3. He averaged 18.4 points per game while ranking second in rebounding and first in steals and blocks.
Brewer was flanked by Garlon Green, whose standout season gave Bivouac arguably the best 1-2 combo in the league. Green was the league's leading rebounder and came in eighth in scoring with 14.0 ppg.
This will be a rematch of a Week 2 game won by Bivouac, a close 50-47 decision that ended abruptly on free throws after 3’s company called a timeout they didn’t have. Although Beasley is the best scorer and probably the most talented player still standing, Bivouac maintains a more complete roster.
In addition to Brewer and Green, veteran Gerald Green adds another scoring dimension. Meanwhile, Javier Carter and Jaylen Johnson, both coming off career years, can effectively spell Brewer and Garlon Green, utilizing their ability to run pick-and-rolls to counter any offensive stagnation.
