Las Vegas Super Seven: Meet Southern Nevada's top high school basketball stars

Las Vegas is producing exceptional high school basketball talent.

The proof? Four former prep standouts from the valley are currently competing in the NBA and WNBA. 

Only one of those players, the Chicago Bulls’ Zach Collins, attended perennial powerhouse Bishop Gorman.

Each December, at the start of the prep season, the Sun compiles its Super Seven: the top seven boys and girls players across Southern Nevada. It’s a who’s who of elite performers, and earning a spot on this prestigious annual list is fiercely competitive.

The alumni roster speaks for itself.

Denver Nuggets guard Julian Strawther was a multiple-time Super Seven honoree during his standout years at Liberty High School through 2020. The same can be said for Coronado great Jaden Hardy, now a guard with the Dallas Mavericks.

The girls’ side is equally impressive. 

Liberty graduate Rae Burrell, also a former Super Seven honoree, is now in her fourth WNBA season with the Los Angeles Sparks.

This year’s Super Seven features no shortage of rising stars.

On the girls’ side, Bishop Gorman senior guard Aaliah “Lizzy” Spaight is rated No. 9 overall by Dan Olson’s Collegiate Basketball Report in the class of 2026. In 2024-25, she averaged 19.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 3.8 steals per game.

Meanwhile, Centennial post player Nation Williams is the nation’s 10th-ranked recruit for the class of 2027. Last season’s state Player of the Year averaged 17 points and 10 rebounds per game while leading Centennial to the state championship.
