Several players have used it as an opportunity to move up in the rankings, while others have taken the opportunity to get on the radar. With the upcoming rankings only weeks away, we wanted to take the time to check out some unranked players who may be deserving of a spot.
Josef Major Josef Major 6'3" | PF Cheyenne | 2023 State NV 6’3 PF Cheyenne 2022 – Saw the senior play on Monday. He has a good frame and provides size to the Desert Shields frontcourt. He’s not counted on to score, however, he’s certainly a candidate for my All-Glue guy team, as his motor, energy, and screen setting are crucial to the team’s success.
Rahjon Chambers Rahjon Chambers 6'1" | SG Legacy | 2024 State NV 6’1 SG Legacy 2024 (featured image) – Have to give some love to Chambers, as he lit up the scoreboard for Legacy, burying 6 treys and finishing with a career-high 18 points. The sophomore guard is in the midst of a breakout season averaging almost 8ppg for a deep and balanced squad. One more performance like this almost assures him a spot in the next rankings.
Deangelo Walker 5’10 SG Arbor View 2022 – Walker is a weapon. On any given night someone can go off for the Aggies, don’t be surprised when it’s Walkers night. He is a knock-down shooter, especially from the corners, and his senior leadership fits in perfectly with a disciplined connected squad.
Jaiden Dixon Jaiden Dixon 6'2" | SG Arbor View | 2022 State NV 6’2 SF Arbor View 2022 – Arbor view has some dudes, and Dizon is one of them. He led them in scoring when I saw them the other night against Foothill. The senior forward brings a high motor and is a dedicated wing runner. He’s not a bad R&J athlete either evident by his high flyer act in the game.
Declan Smith Declan Smith 5'10" | CG Foothill | 2022 State NV 5’10 CG Foothill 2022 – Spoiler alert, Declan Smith Declan Smith 5'10" | CG Foothill | 2022 State NV is going to be in the upcoming Rankings. One of the state’s top shooters has found himself a marked man, as several teams have begun game-planning against him. Smith has range from the NBA line and is able to use a quick release to get his shot off.
