WEEK RECORD RANK COMMENTS
Week 7 1-6 13

Honestly, didnt get to see much of this game, but I wasn’t shocked by the outcome. Hassan farhat played very well, but they can’t rely on only him to be an offensive threat, they need another option to really help them out. Defensively, really solid, however, they really need to figure it out on offense to make some noise at this point in the season

Week 6 1-5 13

Down Islam for the rest of the season, Baraa came to play, but it still wasn’t enough for the team to get a W. They really need to continue to utilize their size, because they’re a pretty big team. Maybe picking up lil bro will make them more competitive, because they need to get some momentum

Week 5 1-4 13

Tough loss to a superior opponent this week, lots of size on the squad, however, no true guard play is what’s hurting them as a team in my eyes, Whilst Islam continues to do his thing and have yet another great game, someone else needs to step up to relieve pressure on him, and they need to yet again really find their identity; which I believe lies in the fact that they’re a huge team, and they need to use it more to their advantage down low.

Week 4 1-3 11

This has been an interesting squad from pre season until now, and they’ve made a blockbuster trade to go along with their interesting roster choices. I can see the vision with the trade to add more pieces to their team, however, this team lacks an identity in my opinion. Idk if they want to use all the size they’ve got to their advantage, or to play a fast pace style. For this team to be more efficient, they’re gonna have to understand the style they want to implement, and to stick with it on a game to game basis. Good game against a solid team. Looking to see them pick it up moving forward

Week 3 1-2 11

That Week 1 promise is fading. Offense is flat, and without a second option next to Shah, this team is stalling, they need another true ball handler next to Shahzaib to help the offense flow, because they’re fading and fading fast, I feel like this team doesn’t really have an identity or an idea as to what they want to accomplish in order to win games, I see they have a lot of size and hustle players on the roster, looking to see them rebound next week and simply outwork the opponent to a W.

Week 2 1-1 8

Took a step back this week after an impressive opening win. Still showed promise even in the loss, but consistency will be key moving forward. Someone besides Shah in this starting lineup needs to emerge, and it must happen fast.

Week 1 1-0 6

Great first showing for a team I believed would be towards the bottom of the list for the entire season. This win is especially interesting because Shahzaib didn’t even have a good game. If Safad can have Shah and Mr. Afzal be a consistent 1-2 lookout.

Preseason 0-0 8
