All-Star Khazzouh
22/08/2006
West Sydney Razorbacks rookie, Julian Khazzouh, has topped off a dynamic Waratah League season with a place in the All-Star team announced on Tuesday.
On Saturday, Khazzouh contributed 20 points and 11 rebounds in his Parramatta Wildcats’ 112-91 semi final victory over the Illawarra Hawks at Shoalhaven.
The next day the Cats’ bubble burst with a 77-128 Grand Final loss to the Sutherland Sharks - despite another double-double outing from Khazzouh who finished with 16 points and 20 rebounds.
Khazzouh’s Waratah season has seen him emerge as the League’s top shot-blocker with 3.6 a game and leading offensive rebounder at 5.9.
In the top ten lists Khazzouh also features in the point scorers with a 24.1 average (third), top field percentage at 53.7 (second), top rebounders at 13.6 (second) and top defensive rebounders with 7.6 (tenth).
In 2006 the All-Star Five was selected by positions, two guards, two forwards and a centre and was done by the coaches of all the competing teams.

Guard – David Barlow - Sydney Comets
Guard – Terry Johnson - Bankstown Bruins
Forward – John Philip - Illawarra Hawks
Forward – Cameron Tovey - Sutherland Sharks
Centre – Julian Khazzouh - Parramatta Wildcats
