- Chris Dockery Chris Dockery 6'5" | SF Bonanza | 2021 CA-S 6’5 SF Bonanza 2021 – We’ve talked quite a bit about Dockery recently. Suffered leg injury, missed season, got it. When healthy he is a terrific two-way player that can defend multiple positions. He was already getting looked at by some D1’s, once he confirms he’s healthy, expect more schools to take notice.
- Tavionte Jackson Tavionte Jackson 6'1" | PG Las Vegas | 2022 NV 6’1 PG Las Vegas 2022 (#6PHN 2022) – Probably wouldn’t have been on this list if the Spring season wasn’t canceled. Good playmaker, scorer, and rebounder from the PG position.
- Chancelor Johnson Chancelor Johnson 6'3" | SG Desert Pines | 2020 GA 6’3 SG Desert Pines 2021 (#20PHN 2021) (featured image) – Another street cred guy, that passes the eye test. Johnson is a big strong accurate 3pt shooting specialist.
- Coleman Lemke Coleman Lemke 6'7" | PF Faith Lutheran | 2021 State NV 6’7 SF Faith Lutheran 2021 (#30PHN 2021) – Combines guard skills with forward size.
- Matt Morton Matt Morton 6'5" | SF Boulder City | 2021 NV 6’5 PF Boulder City 2021 (#34PHN 2021) – We can debate the Boulder City aspect later. Morton’s size, versatility, and production can’t be ignored.
- Noah Sherrard Noah Sherrard 5'11" | PG Silverado | 2021 State NV 5’11 PG Silverado (#29PHN 2021) – Impacts games with his ability to knock down open shots.
- Semaj Threats Semaj Threats 5'10" | PG Desert Pines | 2021 State NV 5’9 PG Desert Pines 2021 (26PHN 2021) – Has a reputation around the city for being a gritty defender. Threats is a tempo changing PG that can provide instant offense off the bench.
- Corbin Dagons Corbin Dagons 6'5" | PF Legacy | 2022 State NV 6’5 PF Legacy 2022 (#24PHN 2022) – Jump on this kid now. Throwback player that does not participate on the AAU circuit. Dagons is a prototypical stretch 4 that is a deadly outside shooter.
- Victavion Conway – Fox 6’6 PF Cheyenne 2021 (#48PHN 2021) – Long, fluid athlete that rebounds well, he would be a project, however, he does possess raw physical tools.
- Diego White 6’9 Rancho 2021 – A two years away from being two years away type. Played sparing for Rancho last season, but can be a solid rim protector for someone.
- Daiquan Sykes Daiquan Sykes 5'11" | PG Sunrise Mountain | 2021 State NV 6’0 SG Sunrise Mountain – Dude balled out last season. Quick combo that finishes nicely around the rim with both hands.
- Jake Bevacqua Jake Bevacqua 5'10" | PG The Meadows School | 2023 State NV 6’0 PG The Meadows School 2023 (#9PHN 2023) – Although he is highly regarded in our rankings, Bevacqua is virtually unknown around the city. He’s a high IQ PG that can be described as a winner.
- Nakalaya Fabello 5’10 PG Valley 2023 – Fabello’s street cred comes from the numbers he put up for Valley last year. The freshmen led the team with over 12 per game.
- Cimarron Conriquez Cimarron Conriquez 6'1" | SG Desert Pines | 2021 State NV 6’1 SG Desert Pines 2021 (#38PHN 2021) – One of the best long-range shooters in the state on one of the best teams in the state.
- Sargent Jeffery Sargent Jeffery 6'5" | PF Desert Valley Prep | 2022 State NV 6’5 PF Coronado 2022 (#21PHN 2022) – Jeffery is a strong athletic player that saw spot minutes for a talented Coronado squad last season.
