Max Heinz Max Heinz 6'1" | SG Faith Lutheran | 2021 State NV 6’1 SF Team Rouge 2021 (#43PHN 2021) – If Max Heinz Max Heinz 6'1" | SG Faith Lutheran | 2021 State NV is on your team then you know you have the ultimate teammate. Heinz defended, scrapped for loose balls and even scored a bit. His value is never measured in points, but he did mange to get into the lane and finish nicely around the rim.
Frankie Collins Frankie Collins 6'2" | PG Coronado | 2021 State #58 Nation NV 6’1 PG Simply Fundamental 2021 (featured image) – It’s so great to have Collins back in the state. I only saw a handful of plays, but what more do you need to see from one of the top guards in the country? Lighting quick, crazy stop and start ability combined with elite level athleticism.
Tavionte Jackson Tavionte Jackson 6'1" | PG Las Vegas | 2022 NV 6’1 PG Hard 2 Guard 2022 (#5PHN 2022) – There is perhaps no more polarizing player in the state than Jackson, however until someone steps up and actually out plays him in a game, I’m convinced he’s a dog. Made it look easy on day one. Slick handle, ran the team and got players involved, Nevada Hard 2 Guard is serious and Jackson is a big part of the reason why.
Vinny Veikalas 6’3 SG The Vikings 2021 – Vinny V is a tough power guard. He gave out contact on his way to the rim, and knocked down 3’s when opponents left him open. Veikalas will be attending Valley next season, and he is a nice addition to an already loaded class of 2021 talent pool.
Rodrick Junior 5’10 PG LMBA 2020 – Junior did today what every player should try to do, make them watch. I was on another court, but couldn’t help looking over to the court next to me because every time down dude was knocking in a 3. The smooth lefty put LMBA on his back, carrying them to a W.
Graydon Lemke Graydon Lemke 6'10" | PF Faith Lutheran | 2024 State NV 6’5 SG Leverage 2024 – I never even saw Lemke play, but when a 6’5 incoming freshmen makes 8 threes in the game, he’s going on the list. Lemke will be joining his brother at Faith Lutheran next year.
