New Jersey (North): Lahore (D2)

Power Ranking Trend

Power Ranking By Week
WEEK RECORD RANK COMMENTS
Week 4 1-3 10

50–55 vs. Gaza, and it felt like a game they were a couple possessions from stealing. Julian Reyes provided shot-making, and even though Aadil Yousuf struggled offensively, he brought energy and fight. Gaza’s pressure forced a few rushed decisions late. Lahore’s formula is still there — the next step is turning good stretches into complete, 40-minute execution.
Week 3 1-2 10

Mombasa’s pressure and physicality overwhelmed them (60–77), but the offense is still dangerous. Zubair and Huzaifa Piperdi can spark quick runs, and Aadil Yousuf is a real shot-maker when they’re flowing — they just didn’t get enough clean paint touches to settle the game. Lahore’s next step is playing stronger through contact, spacing a bit cleaner, and finishing possessions with rebounds. They’re closer than the record says, but they need a complete 40.
Week 2 1-1 7

Lahore earned a gritty win over Jerusalem (66–64) and showed they can win a close one. Captain Zubair Piperdi led the way in a tight finish — and when Zubair + Aadil Yousuf + Julian Reyes are making timely plays, they’re hard to put away. Bring that same discipline week-to-week and they’ll keep climbing.
Week 1 0-1 11
 
Lahore took the L vs. Beirut (60–67), but they’ve got enough shot-making to scare people. Even though Captain Zubair Piperdi struggled in this one, they can get hot fast — and when Zubair + Aadil Yousuf + Julian Reyes find rhythm, they can score in bunches. The swing factor is discipline: defend without gambling and don’t settle too early. If they clean that up, they can steal a couple signature wins.
Preseason 0-0 12
A crafty group that can score in bunches, especially when Zubair Piperdi and Aadil Yousuf find their shooting rhythm. If they commit to defending without over-gambling and keep the tempo under control, Lahore can steal a few signature wins.
