The New Rens’ Big Three

By: MSElite special reporter

Multiple NBA champions include three All-Star quality players on their rosters as a recipe for championship success. The Celtics, Lakers, Spurs and Heat have all captured the crown with this blueprint. Enter the New Rens 6^th Grade Team out of the Basketball Mecca NYC; led by Coach Hector Almodovar boasting their homegrown version. In a postgame interview Almodovar described his smooth slender scoring machine Cole Anthony as the “guts of the team”, his PG Judah McIntyre, who puts on a show while getting the job done, as his “floor general”, and his newest toy “Larry Johnson-like” athlete Marcus Patterson found balling on a local NYC playground as straight “Raw”. These three are taking the east coast and nation by storm dominating everyone in their path. Playing in the famed DC Assault Tournament last weekend in the DMV, these 3 showed exactly why they each can be considered top players in their class. Anthony displayed a well-rounded game scoring from all over the floor, even doing push-ups during his sideline breaks. Judah reminds you of why NYC has long been considered the capitol of PG’s – penetrating at will, handling all pressure, dishing, all with the flair NYC PGs have been known for…yet everything is within the flow of the game.  Marcus Patterson looked like a man amongst boys scoring at one stretch 10 points in under 3 minutes, off drive, breaks, and rebounds. No one yet knows what Patterson ceiling will be as he is still learning the game, but it will be HIGH. You heard it at MSE first, this is a player to watch for years to come as he develops – PERIOD. The recent success of the New Rens has been a joy to watch; they share the ball, relentlessly attack the rim, and are coached hard from the opening tip to the final buzzer. Lots of big time talent on this squad; look for a high showing on the 2013 individual player ranking coming soon.  We expect a lot of them to be at Maryland Mania where the gym may not be able to hold all this talent.
