This has been one of the most interesting KBL seasons in a long time, because for the first time we have 4 teams tied fighting for a spot in the final four.
Kuwait club has been dominant from the beginning of the season, they beat Jahra club last Sunday in a very convincing manner making them number one in the standings with the best regular season record of 19 wins 2 Losses. Now Kuwait Club won home court advantage for the second leg of the playoffs.
There is still one more round left in the regular season and Qadsia will face Kuwait Club, Kazma plays Arabi and Sahel will face Jahra on Sunday, its a win or go home situation for Qadsia, Jahra, Kazma and Sahel. If Kuwait beats Qadsia it would be the first time in 2 decades that Qadsia Club does not qualify to a Final Four and If Kazma beats Arabi it would be the first time for Kazma to qualify in the last decade.
The most improved team this year is by far Kazma Club coached by former National Bahraini team and 10 time champion Manama Club Coach Salman Ramadan , he helped Kazma go to the next level, they are playing organized and their foreign players are Dominant in the Paint.
The Best Imports this season are From Kuwait Club, sharp shooter Andre Pitts (185-G-73, college: Huston-Tillotson), Power Dunker Ira Clark (203-C-75, college: Texas) and Bahraini Star Ahmed Al Mutawa (199-F/C-81, college: Broward CC) have dominated the league with their multiple abilities to take it to the paint or score the jumper and their tough Defense, even though they Dont put big numbers on the score board every game because of their limited time on the court, at any given time they are a threat to any team because they have the ability to take over and close games. The Playoffs will start on Wednesday the 17th Of March

Outlook: One of his best strengths is his versatility. He has played anywhere from point guard to center in his four years at school. Among his best strengths also is driving to the hoop, penetrating and finishing. Playing mostly the four positions this year gave him the opportunity to focus on posting up and interior defense. He was one of the leaders in the conference in rebounding especially at the defensive end. Playing around better players the past few months of College has really shown his passing ability. He averaged nearly 3 assists a game which was the most for a big guy in his conference.

Al Arabi basketball team management agreed terms with the American Guard Sean Colson (182-G-75, agency: GOTathletes, college: Charlotte) to play for them till the end of the season.
Outlook: A tiny PG, born as an open court player, but who learnt to run a passing game offense year after year, thanks to very good court vision and passing skills; again excelling on the fast break, he can also be an interesting scorer, using a good first step and a very effective 3 points shoot; is a little in trouble in defense against bigger guards.
