Power Ranking Trend

Power Ranking By Week
WEEK RECORD RANK COMMENTS
Week 5 4-1 2

74–61 over Istanbul, and they handled the business end of the night. Deep Patel kept the game on rails, Shahzaib “Shyambaba” Khan and Moe Rayyan created advantages early in the clock, and Adam Charrkas gave them real two-way minutes. The offense is getting cleaner week to week, and the defensive connectivity is starting to match the skill.
Week 4 4-0 2

74–61 over Istanbul, and they handled the business end of the night.

The offense is getting cleaner week to week, and the defensive connectivity is starting to match the skill.
Week 3 3-0 3

Another controlled win (70–58 vs. Damascus) that showed how mature they’re getting. Deep Patel managed the game like a quarterback, while Shyambaba Khan and Medo Zubi consistently created the first advantage to bend the defense. Moe Rayyan’s bench production mattered — real minutes, real impact — and the team defense keeps improving. Islamabad isn’t just talented; they’re starting to look professional.
Week 2 2-0 3

Islamabad’s Week 2 win over Gaza (73–64) was less about fireworks and more about control. They dictated tempo, got into their sets early, and stayed disciplined through Gaza’s runs — no panic possessions, just clean decisions. Captain Deep Patel steered the ship, and the creators (Zubi + Shyambaba) consistently bent the defense to generate high-quality looks. If they keep stacking 40-minute focus like this, they’re going to be a weekly problem.
Week 1 1-0 9
 
Islamabad earned a gritty win over Tripoli (58–57). Captain Deep Patel had them fighting to the final buzzer, and with Amir Charrkas + Shahzaib “Shyambaba” Khan creating—plus the Patel brothers adding shot-making—the firepower is real. They won the margins—a rebound here, a stop there—and that’s the kind of execution that travels. If they keep tightening the late-game details, they’ll start stacking wins fast.
Preseason 0-0 3
A skilled roster with playmaking, shooting, and perimeter scoring from Amir Charrks, Shahzaib Khan, and the Patel brothers—but defense will be the key. If their rotations tighten up (especially with Adam Charrkas) and they commit to owning the boards, Islamabad could be one of the biggest movers this season.
