Unlike most players who have taken advantage of the rule, he was eligible for two more seasons. [5] On August 12, 2017, Alberts announced he would attend Long Beach State, where was coached by Dan Monson, who coincidentally preceded Mark Few as Gonzaga's head coach. [6] He averaged 11.3 points per game as a junior. [7] As a senior, Alberts averaged 10.5 points per game. [8]
In August 2019, Alberts signed with Djurgårdens IF Basket in Sweden. [9] In February 2021, Alberts signed with Úrvalsdeild karla club Höttur. [10]
In October 2021, Alberts signed with the Kongsberg Miners of the Norwegian BLNO, where he replaced Jahmal McMurray. [11] In January 2023, Alberts returned to Iceland and signed with Höttur. [12]
In 2015, Alberts made his debut for the Netherlands national B team. [3] He made his debut for the Dutch national A team on August 5, 2016, in a game against Poland. [13]
