LAST WK: 1

They remain undefeated and by the looks of their remaining schedule, it may stay that way. Safe to say rookie and newcomer Luis who is averaging 17 ppg 15.6 rpg and 4.2 apg, is the league’s frontrunner for MVP.

Won with 5 guys and their usual big guns showed up and showed out.

LAST WK: 3

Controversial win in overtime, but a win, nonetheless. They have won their last two games without Anas Zubi, thanks to big time performances from Billal Abbassi. The MVP race is a two-man race at this point.

Kazan

LAST WK: 5

They spread the wealth time and time again and get it done. They do not care who scores, as long as they come out on top.

Tripoli

LAST WK: 7

Back in the win column and against a familiar foe. Ali Hassan led the charge. Nice matchup to watch this week with Palermo coming looking to spoil their parade.

6
Granada
Granada

LAST WK: 4

Kept it close against the league’s best but they are not the same team without Khalied’s size in the middle. Next two games are winnable but both opponents are boost high octane offenses. I expect Zain and Anas N to play big time basketball down the stretch.

Dhaka
Dhaka
3-2

LAST WK: 6

Lost a nail bitter against Kazan, despite a very uncharacteristic day from Ameer. I feel bad for Sana’a this week, Dhaka will be on a mission.

Delhi

LAST WK: 11

Took advantage of a shorthanded Lahore squad, but it may have been too close for their liking.

9
Mombasa

LAST WK: 8

They have surprisingly lost 3 in a row. Not something you expect from a contender. I predict they win their next two and roll into the playoffs.

10
Bukhara
Bukhara

Another game that came down to the wire. Although talented, Mustafa needs more help from his team/family to win these tight games.

11
Palermo
Palermo

LAST WK: 14

Shafic Itani with 44 and knocked down 10 from the great beyond. Their whole team balled out.

Derrick got his, but the rest need to contribute on a more consistent basis.

Unfortunately they were robbed, but respect to them for competing for 45 minutes.

Without their star backcourt, no one other than Mana was able to generate some offense.

16
Jakarta
Jakarta

LAST WK: 17

They finally got a win, led by Kenny’s 22. They are still giving up too many points per game.

They need to win one of their next two to get back into the playoff race.

They allowed 67 points….. in the first half!
