The Meanstreets 16U squad had a great run at the Peach Jam, in large part due to the performance of three of the top players on the EYBL 16U circuit. Jaxson Davis, Quniton Kitt and Davion Thompson led the way as Meanstreets showed out over the course of the summer.
Davis, the 6’0 PG from Warren, was the ultimate floor leader, scoring 18 points per game and dishing out 6 assists and even grabbing 5 rebounds. He was also one of the most efficient players on the circuit, shooting 43% on 120 attempts. Throw in 48% shooting from 2 and 80% from the line, while boasting a better than 5 to 1 assist to turnover ratio and you see why he is so coveted by the Illini and others.
