The 33-year old player had a double-double of 34 points and 12 rebounds, while his team outclassed, the league's bottom-ranked team Al Bashaer (#8, 0-2) with 32-point margin 86-54. It allowed Al Hilal to take over top position in the WASLn. But it's just the very beginning of the season and Al Hilal won both games without losing any. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. In the team's last game Chapman had a remarkable 57.1% from 2-point range. He turned to be Al Hilal's top player in his first season with the team. Former The University of Texas star has very solid stats this year.

It was enough for Al Sadd to edge Al Nassr (1-1) 78-77. The season is still at the very beginning and this victory may help a lot. Let's wait for the next round.
