Riley Highfill | Prep Hoops Scout
Bennett Friday has quietly become one of the more productive and fundamentally sound forwards in the region. He may not always fill the highlight reels, but his effectiveness on the floor is impossible to ignore.
Friday is an efficient scorer who uses his size and physicality extremely well around the basket. He has excellent touch around the rim and consistently converts difficult finishes through contact. His ability to establish deep position and create paint touches allows him to generate offense without needing a high volume of shots.
What stands out most, however, is his feel for the game. Friday is a capable passer who sees the floor well and does a great job finding teammates when defenses collapse on him. He also rebounds at a high level and impacts games in several different ways beyond scoring. As his game continues to expand, don’t be surprised if he emerges as one of the more talked-about frontcourt players in the class.

Friday always seemed to have a nose for the bucket whenever he was around the blocks and showed some nice scoring touch. He also showed that he can score using his in-between game when defenses gave him space. His big frame allows him to battle down low and get great positioning for himself to operate. He showed the ability to process the game well and is a sneaky good passer and found others for scoring looks. He moves well without the basketball.

Friday brings size, versatility, and production. At 6’6”, he’s a forward who rebounds at a high rate and consistently impacts the game around the rim. He had multiple double-doubles this season and proved he can be a steady interior presence.
He finishes well inside, has soft touch around the basket, and is improving as a shooter. When defenders sag off, he’s capable of stepping into open jumpers or using his length to score over smaller defenders.
As his jumper continues to develop, Bennett’s strength increases. He has the tools to be one of the more complete forwards in the class locally.
