Power Ranking By Week
WEEK RECORD RANK COMMENTS
Week 9 7-2 4

Didn’t like the loss to Mombasa week 5, but they’ve put together a very solid overall season. Abdelhadi definitely deserves the MVP chatter, but in a game where it was up to him to shut down and outplay Pete, it didn’t really happen. I think if he was able to get it done against Mombasa, I would respect his case for MVP much more. 
Week 6 5-1 4

Abdelhadi rightfully gets all the love but he’s got a very underrated supporting cast. Young buck Hamza Ahmed is solid and Visar attacks the baseline like a pit-bull. With a full squad, they’re dangerous and a threat to win it all.
Week 5 4-1 7

Looked a lot more human after facing Mombasa. They have another tough test in Cairo coming up, another team looking to bounce back.
Week 4 4-0 2

Have one of the most quality wins of the season thus far. Made the three time champs Dhaka look pedestrian. The Abdelhadis been terrific thus far, Mo has dominated the paint and offensive glass while Hamza has added two solid games. The rest of the crew also solid and produce. A big matchup looms with Mombasa.
Week 3 3-0 7

They Abdelhadi bros outscored Alexandria on their own. This team is quietly very good. Another one of those teams that have some solid pieces around one of the best players to ever play in this league. They’re a top team on both sides of the court, dominant rebounders, and shoot a high percentage.
Week 2 2-0 11

You could team up Mo Abdelhadi with some 5th graders and you’d have a competitive team. Put him with some solid talent like Hamza Ahmad and Visar, and you have a really good group. Waiting to see them take on some better and more well rounded teams before running to conclusions, but I’ve been hearing a lot of whispers regarding how good this team can be. We’ll find out soon enough.
