Continue ReadingOne of the more exciting changes this year is the addition of the new 4A conference. With 5A now becoming the largest class division, 4A has become a defacto city championship featuring all Las Vegas Programs. With Gorman dominating the large class division for a decade, this new 4A division provides some parity, to go along with bragging rights. In this article, we take a look at the top returning scorers from the 4A conference.
Tavionte Jackson Tavionte Jackson 6'1" | PG Las Vegas | 2022 NV 6’1 PG Las Vegas 2022 (#5PHN 2022) – Jackson is the odds on favorite to take home POY honors. He’s a pure PG but he gets buckets as well. Jackson is the leading returner averaging nearly 17ppg last season.
Andrew Garcia Andrew Garcia 5'11" | PG Legacy | 2021 State NV 5’11 PG Legacy 2021 (#29PHN 2021) – My man Andrew Garcia Andrew Garcia 5'11" | PG Legacy | 2021 State NV needs some love. The lefty has been putting up buckets for the last two years. Is he a 1? Is he a 2? I’m not sure, but he can change the scoreboard, averaging 15ppg last year.
Kentrell Wallace Kentrell Wallace 6'1" | SG Las Vegas | 2021 State NV 6’1 SG Las Vegas 2021 (#23PHN 2021) – Wallace is a natural scorer who finishes well in transition, has a nice mid-range game, and is a capable 3 point shooter. He used all 3 of those levels to produce 14.1ppg last year.
Jaylen Berry Jaylen Berry 6'2" | PG Basic | 2021 State NV 6’2 PG Basic 2021 (#20PHN 2021) – A Berry vs Jackson matchup is extremely intriguing to me. The gritty guard is one of the best two-way players in the state. When not locking down opposing ballhandlers, he managed to throw up over 14ppg last year.
John Board John Board 6'1" | SG Basic | 2021 State NV 6’1 SG Basic 2021 (#21PHN 2021) (featured image) – Board is Berry’s backcourt mate. Much like Berry, Board did a great job of locking up opposing players. He also found a way to put the ball in the bucket, averaging over 13ppg last season.
Zach Jefferson Zach Jefferson 6'2" | SG Shadow Ridge | 2021 State NV 6’2 SG Shadow Ridge 2021 (#31PHN 2021) – When he’s on, Jefferson is one of the most dynamic scorers in the state. He buries 3’s and can get to the rim off the bounce. He has a legitimate chance of averaging over 20ppg this year after coming off a 13.2 ppg season last year.
Nico Diaz Nico Diaz 6'0" | PG Bonanza | 2021 State NV 6’0 SG Bonanza 2021 (#71PHN 2021) – Diaz had a ton of explosive performances last season. He put up 20 against Palo Verde, 18 against Faith Lutheran, and 17 in a win over Shadow Ridge. For the season the Bengals guard averaged 10.5 per game.
