James Claar posted 16 points in the final for a well balanced CMBC outfit and was also named the Pro-Am MVP after he averaged an efficient 14.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 62.8% field goal percentage per game in this year’s summer league.
Key contributions from Luke Busumbru and Kyle Carey, who scored 13 points and 12 points each, also played a huge factor in CMBC closing out the final and going unbeaten throughout the Pro-Am.
A terrific 24 point performance from Flynn Boardman-Raffet and 14 points and eight boards from Mergim Sokoli were not enough to get SBB over the line.
