One thing is for sure all of them are scary matchups for potential opponents. In this article, PH takes a look at the 6 scariest players in Nevada High School Basketball.
1. Martell Williams 6’1 SG Silverado C/O 2020 – Williams has a powerful build and is an elite run and jump athlete. His physical prowess is enough to frighten even the most seasoned player, when you add in his ability to knock down threes and blow by defenders, he becomes extremely scary.
2. Julian Strawther 6’6 SF Liberty 2020 – Don’t think Strawther is scary? You try to defend a 6’6 athletic wing with a picture-perfect jump shot. Strawther scores in so many different ways that he frightens both players and coaches alike. He can dunk on you in an instant, or embarrass defenders with his outside shooting range. The future Zags recruit is clearly one of the scariest players in the state.
3. M’Wani Wilkinson 6’6 SF Bishop Gorman 2020 – Wilkinson is the last defender that opposing players want to see. You better hope that his name isn’t across from yours on the chalkboard. The 6’6 Pogo stick can defend all 5 positions. I literally had a college assistant coach that told me it doesn’t matter if Gorman goes small because MW could lock down any High School Post Player. It’s hard to argue with him. Add in his trampoline-like leaping ability and it’s easy to see why Wilkinson is one of the scariest players in Nevada.
4. Darnell Washington 6’8 C Desert Pines 2020 – Washington is one of the top TE’s in high school football. His mere presence on the floor frightens opponents. A physical specimen that moves bodies, Washington dominates the paint against all comers. He’s so scary that coaches all over the valley are praying that he takes his football scholarship and leaves.
5. Max Allen 6’8 C Bishop Gorman 2020 – Perhaps the one player with the size and strength to challenge Washington. The scariest part about Allen is that he is only getting better. Allen was already a highly skilled player with soft hands, now he slimmed down and increased his run and jump ability. I expect to see two bodies on the terrifying post player at all times.
6. Sebastian Mack 6’1 SG Durango 2023 – No one wants to be embarrassed by a freshman. Mack certainly has the talent to do just that. Pound for pound one of the most intimidating players in the State, Mack has the potential to put up points in a hurry. If you weren’t scared of him before, the possibility of him hanging half a hundred on you is downright frighting. People are still talking about his 51 point performance at a West Coast Camp this summer.
