New Jersey (North): Lahore (D2)

Power Ranking Trend

Power Ranking By Week
WEEK RECORD RANK COMMENTS
Week 6 3-3 8
Lahore exploded for 95 in a win over Istanbul, and this was the cleanest, most confident version of their offense so far. Julian Reyes had them playing fast and decisive, Adham G supplied shot-making and rebounding, and Mustafa Brown / Chase Rosenblum kept pressure on the defense instead of letting possessions stall. The 53-point first half set the tone, but the better sign was how Lahore kept generating quality looks even after Istanbul pushed back. Their skill has never been the question — when they play with spacing, pace, and patience, they can turn a close matchup into a track meet fast.
Week 5 2-3 9
 
Lahore handled Damascus 63–50 and finally turned those “close but not complete” stretches into a controlled win. Julian Reyes set the offensive tone with confident shot-making, while Aadil Yousuf and Adham G helped keep pressure on the defense instead of letting possessions stall. The biggest positive was the composure: Lahore didn’t need chaos or a last-minute scramble, and they showed they can win with organized offense and steady execution. If they keep stacking clean possessions and get consistent production around their guards, they are too skilled to stay buried in the lower half.
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.
