I was very privileged to have been given the opportunity to coach this versatile athlete over the summer. Stepping his offense aside, its his vocal role that will be crucial in NYCE's run to a repeat, as the PG Court General for NYCE.ĥ'8 - PG/SG - New Milford, NJ A young but seasoned veteran, Penny's crudentials (Two 2nd places in 4 years) in his NABA career speak for his game and leadership. Known for his defensive specialties, Penny's familiarity with all the players give him the respect he has when getting down to business and winning basketball games. Another veteran whose seen the losing end to the Canadian teams in NABA, the warrior in his soul comes from his dad.ĥ'5 - PG - Brooklyn, NY Īs returning Point guard from last years championship team, Penny will be playing the 'Rajon Rondo' role distributing the ball to the players of this allstar roster.

Mike will most likely take care of the bigman responsibilities being he has the more polished bigman game on both ends of the basketball.

I've seen this athlete since he was 12 years old, making every kind of big play possible, weather it had been a defensive assignment, clutch boxouts and rebounds, and most importantly, TIMELY baskets in BIGTIME games.

You cant assemble an allstar team of 16 yr olds without including this remarkable individual. God help the poor soul that will put his career on the line if he is given AJ as a defensive assignment.Ħ'1 - C/PF - Brooklyn, NY With two 3rd places, a Junior Division Championship, and an MVP award in a 3 year NABA career, AJ's proven that he's one of the top prospects his age and one of the centerpieces to this NYCE roster. His recognition boomed after he led his underdog and undermanned North Jersey Bantam team to 3rd place in NABA 2007, fighting through a very competitive Bantam division. In NABA, Carlo's made it to the championship twice out of his 4 year NABA career.ĥ'8 - SG - Bergenfield, NJ Īj's stature as a pinoy baller has been improving immensely as the years have been coming along. Growing up, playing in his age division he was a threat in the lowpost but in the recent spring-summer season, Carlo's been developing his pullup midrange and 3-balls, extending his offensive arsenal. Carlo is emerging as one of the top fil-am prospects on the east coast, as he is another player developing guard skills in a bigman's body. In every other NABA, he's been to the semi's, being eliminated by Arch Rival Dolce-Toronto.Ħ'1 - PF/C - West Orange, NJ Īs a freshman, he played big minutes and had a strong role for his HS's Varsity team, and was seen running with some of the old school DABU players in Nutley-Hoopsville. During Labor Day weekend, Coco made it to the championship twice, falling to Toronto in '06 and Scarborough in '07. If Coco does show up to MITY for NYCE's 2nd Coming, God help anybody that starts droppin buckets. Suprisingly, its not his offensive capabilities that are cultivating his respect, but his ability to lockup standout players on the opposing team. His gaurd-like abilities for a forward's height make him a matchup problem for whatever division he plays. The following players will be on the NYCE Roster looking to repeat its Championship from last year.Ħ'2 - SF/SG - Rockland, NY Įmerging as one of TLC's top scorers, this youngster wasn't able to participate with NYCE in their Birth Run in the first MITY, but looks to be the final piece to this already bombsquad roster.
