Jackson Williams Jackson Williams 6'2" | SF Faith Lutheran | 2021 State NV 6’3 SF Faith Lutheran (#39PHN 2021) – It’s no surprise to me that Williams makes this list. He was impressive toward the end of the season as Faith made a run to state. Williams scrapped his way to over 7 rebounds per game.
Fernando Carmona Fernando Carmona 6'5" | C Las Vegas | 2021 State NV 6’5 PF Las Vegas 2021 (#31PHN 2021) – Carmona is a physical post that plays with consistent relentless energy. What he lacks in R&J athletic ability, he makes up for with motor and effort. He averaged nearly 8 rebounds per game.
Lowell Francis Chan Lowell Francis Chan 6'6" | SF Sierra Vista | 2021 State NV 6’5 PF Sierra Vista 2021 (#55PHN 2021) – Chan is an intriguing prospect. One of the top shooters out of the crop of rebounders, he shot 36% from behind the arc while averaging over 6 rebounds per game.
Jalen Cunningham Jalen Cunningham 6'3" | SG Coronado | 2021 State NV 6’3 SG Foothill 2021 (#36PHN 2021) – Cunningham proved to be one of the top rebounding guards in the state. A physical specimen, that can come down and rebound from the backcourt. Cunningham averaged 5 rebounds per game.
Logan Gavenda 6’3 SG Parumph Valley 2021 – The 6’3 guard proved to be a consistent rebounder all year. He had 20 games with at least 5 rebounds en route to averaging nearly 7 per game.
Ethan Speaker Ethan Speaker 6'6" | SF Boulder City | 2021 State NV 6’6 SF Boulder City 2021 (#7PHN 2021) – The leading rebounder in the Sunrise conference returns. In addition to being one of the top scorers in the state, the 6’6 wing also averaged 11 boards per game.
Cody Zile Cody Zile 6'4" | SF Lincoln Co | 2021 State NV 6’4 SF Lincoln County 2021 (#64PHN 2021) – Zile is just a good solid player. In additon to his scoring prowess, the rangy foward also grabbed almost 10 rebounds per game.
Joshua Valencia 6’4 PF Green Valley Christian 2023 – One of the first things on my to-do list next season is to see Joshua Valencia play. The 6’4 250 pound manchild showed why he is one of the top young talents in the area. He led all of 1A in rebounding as a freshman, averaging over 8 boards per game.
