New Jersey (North): Al-Wehdat (D2)
Power Ranking By Week | |||
WEEK | RECORD | RANK | COMMENTS |
---|---|---|---|
Week 9 | 5-4 | 10 | Honestly, I feel like this team could’ve had a better record than they do, solely based off attendance. If Talib and Keon are playing, with Jay Mustafa and co. hustling and doing their job, these guys got a solid squad and will be a matchup issue. Probably should be ranked higher on this list, but they will just have to prove that they can all come together in the playoffs with little chemistry built. |
Week 8 | 4-4 | 13 | Great team win, but it was against a Zainless Baysan squad. Corey Chandler is a hooper though! |
Week 7 | 3-4 | 14 | I saw so many missed layups I don’t even want to speak about this team, so thank you for saving me time. |
Week 6 | 3-3 | 12 | I have no idea. |
Week 5 | 3-2 | 12 | No Keion for Al-Wehdat but they still had Corey Chandler. Corey led the group with 21 points on 6-11 from the field. Yamin with a vintage performance, scoring 14 points on 4-7 from deep. Jehad & Jason each knocked down a pair of threes themselves. But here’s a fun fact, Al-Wehdat’s game outcomes this season: W, L, W, L, W ……. |
Week 4 | 2-2 | 11 | After stringing together some nice wins, they simply did not have it in this one. Keion went for 22 points but it took 20 shots while Yamin and Jehad each knocked down a pair of 3s. They should get back into the win column against a struggling Jenin team. |
Week 3 | 2-1 | 6 | Probably the highest climb in one week in recent memory but they looked like a completely different ball club. The latest addition certainly paid dividends and made his presence known early and often! Keion Osbourne led the way with 22 points and went 10-10 from the charity stripe. Next week, they face off against a struggling Al-Quds team. |
Week 2 | 1-1 | 15 | Last week, I noted that I regretted ranking them where I did. Well, today not so much. They were without Week 1 phenom Jay Mustafa but Gaza simply put the game out of reach in the second half. Hoping they have a full squad come Week 3 because Bethlehem is up next. |
Week 1 | 1-0 | 12 | I may regret ranking them this high because this game was sloppy. Newcomer Jay Mustafa led the way with 26 points on 4-8 from and 8 steals! Looking at the box score, they really should have lost this game, but an ugly win is still a win. |
Preseason | 0-0 | 15 | Some MB OG’s on this team and thankfully for me, I don’t have anything recent to write about. |
