MIES (Switzerland) - Groups C and D ended their opening window in contrasting fashion earlier today. With 3 out of 4 games being sizable wins, outside of Jalen Harris's 42 explosion, Qatar's big three of Brandon Goodwin, Abdulrahman Saad and Alen Hadzibegovic stood out for their heroics against Lebanon.
Here are the day's top performers:
Jalen Harris (JOR)
Harris put the icing on the cake of his debut window, going off for a mind-boggling 42 points against Syria. He connected 8 times from deep, at an insane 50 percent conversion rate, besides also grabbing 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, at a sky-high +40 efficiency.
Fantasy points: 48
Brandon Goodwin (QAT)
Just how good has Goodwin been for Qatar?
Not only did he put up figures of 25 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, at +34 efficiency, but these came against the previously unbeaten-at-home side Lebanon.
Fantasy points: 40
Abdulrahman Saad (QAT)
Goodwin's backcourt buddy can get missed in the former's flashy brilliance. But the understated Saad finally had a breakout performance in this opening window, with solid numbers of 20 points and 4 assists at +25 efficiency. 3 of Saad's 4 triples stood out for their second-half timing, providing breathing room against a hot-pursuing Lebanon.
Fantasy points: 34
Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman (KSA)
Saudi Arabia had a relatively easy opening window against India. But that ease might have to do with having Abdur-Rahkman in their side. The 193 cm / 6'3" point guard was keeping it ticking by scoring nearly a point a minute, ending with 24 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, at a +21 efficiency.
Fantasy points: 31
Alen Hadzibegovic (QAT)
The 'biggest' of the Qatari big three on this list, the near 7ft center put up all-around figures of 14 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists at +23 efficiency.
Fantasy points: 35
