Muslim Basketball

Not bad Rook! First time Draft manager Zubair may have gotten away with robbery with selecting Zain in the second round. Not to mention his first-round selection was Mahrooz. Moayad and Omar Hussein are the other two integral pieces. The only thing potentially stopping this team is that there is one basketball.  

Coach Towfeek Spoelstra Jackson put together quite a formidable squad. Dropped a Woj bomb on us with the draft day trade and collected more assets. That allowed him to draft the Burooj Al Mana, and his bff in Amir Hassan. Can't forget the Elsammak brothers and Splash for some back court depth. Shooting is this team's only TRUE weakness. 

Aadil + Farhad = 40 minutes of grit and passion. Add in the shooting of Raj Patel, the versatility of Medo Zubi and Mohammed Abdelghani's defense?!?!?! Boy oh boy this team is going to be fun to watch. Aadil is my sleeper pick for MVP. 

4 Yanes brothers and 4 outsiders, sound familiar? Sounds like the fam is trying to strike lightning in the bottle twice and who can blame them? Musa is arguably the best 4 man in the league, Habi and Yahya are great defenders and apparently Said Abdalla is the second coming of Hakeem the Dream. This team will always be a contender with Big Moose leading the way.

Brothers, good luck guarding this team. Joe Shiestyyy and Amir? WHAT? This is my favorite backcourt of all time. 

I like this team a lot and honestly 99.9% of that is because of Shahzaib and how pretty his game is. The rest of y'all are great too but Shah is HIM. 

Salman went for straight offense with his first two selections in Jehad and Anas. Khaled Saleh is one of the bigger players in the league and they have a nice combination of young talent. 

Looking at this roster, I have some questions. Who's their PG? Who on earth is going to compliment Lil O? AND WHO'S THEIR PG???

This team will go only as far as Mahdy can take them. Ahmad Chaabane is no longer a pup and needs to be a consistent #2 option. Omar Marachli and Yamin are solid vets to have, and I expect them to contribute on a week to week basis.

Ranking a backcourt of Hassan and Singer this low, really hurts my soul. On paper thats 35-40, 10-16 rebounds and plenty of play making. But they are two very ball dominant players. Interested in seeing how this dynamic will work. 

Ali Hassan, bucket. Jojo, solid. Khaled, Hosam and Himey, excellent glue guys. But this team has to find someone to consistently score 10-15 to help Ali Hassan.

Top heavy talent but I do not see the Big 3 of Shafic, Ali S and Jake working out whatsoever.
