Rajan Roberts and AAU Team Meanstreets ended the Nike EYBL Session III with three losses in four games
Despite Rajan Roberts’ brilliant performance at the Nike EYBL Session III, which took place in Kansas from May 23 to 26, his team only managed one win in four games. Their first two games ended in losses, a narrow 68-65 loss to Team Durant and a 78-46 reverse against NY Rens.
Roberts was, however, not as brilliant in the first two games as he was in the last two. He was held to just three points in the first game and eight points in the second.
The next two games were a different story for Roberts, though, as he delivered 20 points, four rebounds and three assists, to guard the Meanstreets to thier only win, a 75-68 victory over Jet Academy. In the final game of the session, he posted 16 points, albeit in a 77-65 loss to Expressions.
