Nevada Player Rankings: C/O 2022 Highest Stock Risers

<p>The new Prephoops Nevada Rankings are out. This is our most extensive player list ever, featuring 95 of the top players in the state. These rankings take into account among other things, players’ production from the 2019-20 season, as well as any camps, tournaments, or events taking place before the cancelation of the grassroots Spring season. In this article, PH takes a look at some of the players that made the biggest leap in the c/o 2022.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="859643" first="Shane" last="Thomas"] <em>6’3 SF Centennial 12↑6</em> - Thomas rose for several reasons, the #1 being, that he probably wouldn’t have been ranked so low if he played during the high school season. A 3 and D guy with terrific athleticism, a lot of this is potential and projection, but I’m confident that the majority of coaches that walk into the gym will leave very impressed after seeing him.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="712123" first="Elijah" last="Johnson"] <em>5’10 PG Durango 19↑16</em> (featured image)- Johnson moved up mostly because of his play on the defensive ends, in high-level high school varsity games. He has great lateral quickness and is one of the top returning on-ball defenders in the state.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="859663" first="Brandon" last="Enriquez"]<em> 6’6 PF Rancho</em> 36↑22- Sleeper alert, Enriquez is a monster, that plays with a good motor. Ironically what I like about him is one of his weaknesses. He doesn’t understand how good he is. Enriquez rarely touched the ball in the post for the Rams, yet that never deterred his effort and energy on the glass. He is also one of the top rim protectors in the state. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="986767" first="Grayson" last="Grinsell"] <em>6’1 SG Reno</em> UR↑27- While Baseball is Grinsell’s top sport, he had an impact for Reno on the hardwood as well. An aggressive player that finishes in transition, Grinsell had games of 20, 17, and 14 last season. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="986772" first="Carson" last="Kingston"]<em> 6’2 SG Fernley UR↑30 </em>- Kingston put together a 1st team all 3A northern season. The wing shooter made 40 3’s on the season and had 17 double-digit games. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="985612" first="Christian" last="Martin"]<em> 6’2 SG Sierra Vista</em> UR↑50 - This kid can play. He didn’t get the minutes on Sierra Vista, but I’ve seen him in person, and on film, and was impressed both times. He is a slasher that can make plays for his teammates. He’s a legit 6’2 and has the playmaking skills to play both backcourt positions.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/7outzbballclub1">Follow Prep Hoops Nevada</a></p>
