Pennsylvania: Gaza (D2)

Power Ranking Trend

Power Ranking By Week
WEEK RECORD RANK COMMENTS
Week 5 1-4 6

Gaza remains in search of its first win, but the effort and determination are clearly there. The return of Maaz proved important, as he posted 15 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 blocks while attacking the rim and anchoring the defense. Against Nazareth, the three-point shot became a focal point for both teams, with Gaza forcing shots from deep early on. The tools are in place for this group, and the next step will be sustaining the intensity they showed in the second half for a full 40 minutes.
Week 4 0-4 6

Despite the 0–3 record, Gaza continues to compete with heart and resilience. Wasay’s 28-point explosion (8–13 from three) shows the offensive firepower this team can generate when they get hot. Missing Maaz proved costly in the close matchup against Jerusalem, and his absence in two of three games makes it difficult to judge Gaza fairly. Even so, this team ranks 2nd in the league in 3PT%, which speaks to their offensive potential. With Maaz returning to open the floor and balance the attack, Gaza is very capable of stealing key wins and entering the playoffs with momentum.

Projected Finish: #6
Week 3 0-3 6

Gaza is still looking to find its full stride, but the foundation is clearly present. Week 1 brought strong shooting, fluid ball movement, and efficient scoring from Ismail, James of Lod, and Wasay.

Week 2 tested them with lower shooting percentages, yet they remained competitive thanks to solid contributions from Akbar, James, and Wasay. One issue that continues to hold them back is turnovers and scoring droughts that make it difficult to regain momentum.

Even with those setbacks, Gaza consistently creates quality looks and stays in games through spacing and chemistry. Their ability to generate deep shots keeps them competitive in any matchup.

Projected Ranking for Week 4: 5 to 6, depending on how they respond to the challenge against Jerusalem.
