Continue ReadingPerhaps no time in a player’s development is more crucial than the year between his sophomore and junior seasons. In Las Vegas, we need to look no further than our own back yard for a perfect example. Going into his junior season, Mwani Wilkerson was buried deep on the Bishop Gorman bench, two years later he’s a top 100 player nationally and on his way to LSU. In this article, PH takes a look at some of the players poised to make a similar name for themselves.
Jamir Stephens Jamir Stephens 6'1" | CG Desert Pines | 2022 State NV 6’1 PG Desert Pines (#12) – I’m looking for guys that are talented, used to winning and are teammates of elite players. Stephens checks all three of those boxes. Plays a specific role for DP, however, he’s one breakout summer away from really raising some eyebrows. He can defend, score in transition, and play both backcourt spots offensively and defensively.
Brandon Enriquez Brandon Enriquez 6'6" | C Shadow Ridge | 2022 State NV 6’6 C Rancho (#22) – Couple things I ask myself when evaluating bigs is, how often are they being fed and what do they do when they’re not eating? Enriquez rarely touched the ball on the offensive end for the Rams, however, that did not stop him from being a rim protector and rebounder. He plays hard and takes pride in altering and blocking shots.
Corbin Dagons Corbin Dagons 6'5" | PF Legacy | 2022 State NV 6’5 Legacy (#23) – Coming right on the heels of Enriquez in the rankings is Dagons. His game is completely opposite of Enriquez’s. Dagons loves to float around the perimeter and snipe from the outside. Defensively he is still learning, however, he has the fluidity and length to become a versatile defender.
Gianni Rodriguez Gianni Rodriguez 6'3" | SF Sierra Vista | 2022 State NV 6’3 SF Sierra Vista (#37) – Rodriguez falls under the category of a guy that is sneaky good. He is a willing passer that prefers to make plays for his teammates more than himself. He has a nice touch from 15 – 18 feet out, and can get to the rim with 1 or two dribbles.
Christian Martin Christian Martin 6'2" | SG Sierra Vista | 2022 State NV 6’2 SG Sierra Vista (#50) The future looks bright for SV. Martin is a good looking prospect that loves to attack the rim. He has good court vision and can deliver on time on target passes to teammates off the dribble. Combine him with Rodriguez and Sierra Vista has two versatile offensive weapons to build around.
