Power Ranking By Week
WEEK RECORD RANK COMMENTS
Week 7 1-6 13

Hack is a great player—he had 31 points and a lot of them were tough. But it’s obvious at this point that he doesn’t trust his teammates. Taking 29 shots, out of 56 taken the whole game, tells everyone that much. 
Week 6 1-5 13

I thought they’d capitalize last weeks performance this week against a Mana-less Nazareth. I have to say that this teams ball dominant players are hurting them, the three went a combined 15-50 the game. I’d like to have seen Mohamed Soliman shoot more—he kept them in the game last week, its criminal for them to only have him take 3 shots. 
Week 5 1-4 12

They were down most of the game, but man, they made it exciting. Abdelrahman is COLD. That three to tie the game? Absurd. Just had to make that last FT and the game was yours. Hack and Mohamed “the bank is open” Soliman also had double-doubles, so there’s positives to take away. Stang is the biggest guy on the court, there’s no excuse for him only taking 2 shots the whole game. If he was more aggressive with his offense, it was theirs. 
Week 4 1-3 15

The only bright side of this game that it was only a 5 point loss. They’re currently on a downward trajectory, and you can attribute that to missing David Stang, who really anchored down the paint. 
Week 3 1-2 16

There’s no excuse being down going against a 4 man team for over twenty-five minutes. For that reason, they have to fall. 
Week 2 1-1 10

Super impressed by what I saw from this game, specifically Ahmed Ismael having 23 points on 9-17 shooting. David Stang also looks like a pillar down low, and I can see why Tulkarem had difficulties scoring against him when he stood in the paint. I do think Ahmed needs to get the rest of the team involved. Only one other teammate having over 5 shots isn’t going to win you games against better teams. 
Week 1 0-1 12

A decent first showing against a dominant, veteran team. Abdelrahman had 16 points while Ahmed Ismaeil had 17 points. They do have to clean up their shots and get the rest of the team involved more if they want to win games. The majority of the team had less than five shots on the day. 
Preseason 0-0 15

I’m not familiar with anyone on this roster so we’ll revisit this team next week.
