1. (1) Istanbul (4-0)- Dominating the boards, cruising along.
2. (3) Kabul (3-1)- Only blemish was a close loss to Istanbul without Muj. Expect this teamt o be around in late July.
3. (4) Bukhara (3-1)- Just a solid all-around team, handling business as usual.
4. (7) Fez (2-2)- Balanced team that plays smart ball. Guards force th issue a bit, but its been working.
5. (2) Mecca (3-1)- This team can go a long way with better discipline on the offensive end.
6. (8) Cairo (2-2)- Great backcourt tandem, dont sleep on Cairo.
7. (5) Medina (2-2)- With Ardell on the court this team is at another level. But there isnt an established 2nd scorer yet.
8. (6) Damascus (2-2)- A dynamic team, but as has been said all along, no size is going to be an issue all season.
9. (10) Cordoba (1-3)- Tough loss against Bukhara, but with Hasham now they have a rebounding presence in the middle.
10. (9) Islamabad (1-3)- Just trying to put week 4 in the rear-view.
11. (11) Jerusalem (0-4)- When will this squad come to play? I think help is on the way...
12. (12) Baghdad (1-3)- Needed 2 great guests to sneak away with a win, doesnt say much about the actual roster.
