New Jersey (Central): Al-Khalil (D2)

Power Ranking By Week
WEEK RECORD RANK COMMENTS
Week 6 2-4 12

It’s obvious how hard this teams been fighting week in and week out. Elton Vojka (22pts, 8-17 shooting) has been playing at an insane level, borderline top 5 in Central at the moment. Dasar (13pts) and Lindi (16pts) have been pulling their weight, but you can tell they’re missing Rayyan’s presence on the court. 
Week 5 2-3 10

Coming onto the court with 4 guys and they gave last years finalists a run for their money. Elton finished with 22 points and 9 rebounds while Desar notched himself a double-double (17pts, 16reb). I want to live in a timeline where Lindi’s (13pts) last shot didn’t bounce out the rim. This game was all heart, and the boys deserve to keep their heads high after this one. 
Week 4 2-2 10

One of my main issues, like every year with a team like this, is their lack of big man recruitment. Elton and Desar can only do so much against teams who’re bigger than them. This is a team that’ll beat bad teams, and really struggle against good ones. 
Week 3 2-1 6

Just when I thought Elton and Co were changing the narrative, they run into a charging Ramla, and proceed to get steamrolled. Elton led the team with 10 points while Desar had 15 points and 10 boards. Watching this game, nothing was falling for them when they needed it to. 7-36 from three isn’t exactly a game winning formula, and I know they aren’t usually shooting like that. I’m confident they’ll play better next week. 
Week 2 2-0 4

Say what you will about this squad, but Elton is currently playing at an elite level (21pts, 10reb) and is leading this team to hard fought wins. Desar also looked to have changed his game up a bit, he tacked on 16 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists. Not to mention the role players; rookie Ryaan Amjad might’ve had a quiet offensive day, but he had 4 blocks. The Haifa-to-Al-Khalil rebrand is working to perfection, fellas.<
Week 1 1-0 4

Elton and Desar are MB mainstays at this point, and seeing them tear Baysan apart is a sight we often don’t see. Elton (24pts) got through the defense with ease while newcomer Lindi Sela tacked on 17 points. Youseff Elshenawy led the game in rebounds with 13. With a hungry Yazur team on the horizon, we’ll see if they’re real contenders going forward.
