Malek Simeus 5’10 Las Vegas Heat 2026 – The young PG showed quick hands on D and a devastating handle on O. He has a good understanding of the game, and is a willing passer that helps teammates get easy buckets by getting into the paint, drawing two and dishing.
Alijah Adem Alijah Adem 6'2" | PG Spring Valley | 2024 State #174 Nation NV 6’0 Chosen Few 2024 (#7PHN 2024) – I’m so used to Adem being good that I almost left him off the list. He can shoot it, his handle is dope but most importantly, dude has that IT factor. In the best game of the weekend, he threw Chosen Few on his back, scoring nine straight while down 8 late in the Championship Game against Iso Elite. A game CF would eventually go on to win in double overtime.
TJ Mctyer 5’9 Iso Elite 2023 – I loved with Mctyer brought. Has good quickness, a little wiggle and you can’t lay off his shot. He was decent against pressure, and showed the ability to breakdown defenders and make plays for teammates.
Tavionte Jackson Tavionte Jackson 6'1" | PG Las Vegas | 2022 NV 6’1 Hard 2 Guard 2022 (#5PHN 2022) – Eventually someone’s going to have to see Jackson. A big time competitor, Jackson impacted every facet of the game. Shot it well, used his handle to toy with defenders, and was a thief on the defensive end. He helped a loaded H2G squad to the 16U division title.
Jacques Williams Jr Jacques Williams Jr 5'9" | PG Arbor View | 2022 NV 5’10 Nevada Hard 2 Guard 2022 (#46PHN 2022) – I really liked the combination of Williams and Jackson in the backcourt for H2G. Playing alongside Jackson, Williams was able to pick his spots and show off his explosive first step. A creative finisher, Williams came up big in the Championship game getting to the rim and finishing through contact.
Steven Cervantes Steven Cervantes 5'10" | PG Mesa | 2021 State AZ 5’10 Las Vegas Olympians 2021 (#37PHA 2021) – Cervantes played with good pace all weekend. A pure PG, he showed good hesitation skills, shot it well when left open and showed the ability to make plays for teammates.
Jo – Jo Garcia Jo – Jo Garcia 6'2" | SG Foothill | 2021 State NV 6’1 Simply Fundamentals 2021 (#65PHN 2021) (featured image) – Garcia is a crafty playmaker that shot it well from deep, finished around the basket and even came down to help rebound. High IQ guy, Garcia can handle it for you at the 1, or serve as a floor spacing 2.
Xakime Milton Xakime Milton 5'8" | PG Centennial | 2021 State NV 5’7 LMBA 2021 (#58PHN 2021) – Milton may be the fastest player end to end in the state. He used that speed to blow by defenders, get into the lane and finish. A one man press breaker, Milton, did the majority of his damage playing downhill in transition.
