Continue ReadingThe new PrephoopsNevada Rankings are out! The list features nearly 200 of the top Prep players in the state. I have been fortunate to see a lot of basketball, and a lot of prospects during the high school season. In this article, PH takes a look at some of the top point guards in the class of 2023.
Elijah Burney 5’9 Centennial (#16) – Burney is definitely a player with the potential for his stock to rise over the summer. He was the main guy in leading Centennial to the recent freshmen tournament championship. He’s a deadly shooter from distance, that has good blow by ability. Tough PG who wants the ball in his hands in late game situations.
Niko Canencia 5’7 Legacy (#15) – The lefty is a shifty, penetrating PG. He doesn’t do it with blinding speed, as much as he does it by switching gears. Canencia can stop and start as well as any player in the class, and he has an array of floaters that allows him to finish over length.
David Poole 5’10 Mojave (#11) – Poole has good explosion and a developing frame. He’s quick and can consistently get paint touches. He’s more of a combo, however defensively he can lock down on both the 1 and 2.
Jaiden Fisher 5’10 Desert Oasis (#10) – Fisher has a solid handle and good quickness. He didn’t see a ton of minutes for DO, however, he showed the ability to contribute at the varsity level. He’s a willing defender with good lateral quickness.
Jake Bevacqua 5’10 The Meadows School (#9) – When’s he’s on the court Bevacqua has proven to be dynamic. High IQ point guard with 3 point shooting ability. He has battled through injuries most of the season, however, when healthy he is averaging nearly 19 per game. Bevacqua has been so lethal that he has 8 twenty point games on the season despite playing only 15 games.
Jordan Morency 6’2 Silverado (#6) (featured image) – Morency enters the list as the top PG in the class. A fearless competitor, Morency plays with a confidence that belies his age. He is good off the dribble, showing a consistent ability to get paint touches. He can also knock down outside shots in catch and shoot situations. He suffered through early-season injuries but rounded into form near the end of the season, averaging 9 per game over his last 5.
