Week 7 3-4 8

They just ran into Derrick Mack. 
Week 6 3-3 8

They just ran into Derrick Mack. 
Week 5 3-2 6

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.
Week 4 3-1 4

Very talented core 4, missing Khalied Saleh and his size downlow, which may haunt them against Beirut.
Week 3 2-1 5

Neutralize Kenny, check. Force turnovers, check. Knock down free throws, check. They did everything you could have possibly wanted to win the game. Anas Najib led the way with an efficient 24 and Idris added 19 of his own. Very tough back half of their schedule coming up.
Week 2 1-1 5

Locked up on Medina’s best scorers and hit timely shots down the stretch. I see them rolling against Jakarta.
Week 1 0-1 9

Small bump in the road, they will be fine as long as they play within themselves. Too much talent on this team for it not to work. 
Preseason 0-0 4

Losing Omar Abbassi hurts them from the perimeter, but more shots for Omar and Idris is never a bad thing. Look for them and Najib to carry them.
