Another big man in a small class, Grady Bresson Grady Bresson 6'6" Friend | 2027 NE comes in just behind Baker, averaging 17 ppg in 2024-25 for Friend High School.

More of a versatile player that can put the ball on the deck and shoot from the outside on a consistent basis, Bresson is more of a wing, as opposed to a true big in the front court. Long with soft touch around the rim that extends to the perimeter, Bresson can shoot the three and is a smooth athlete that throws down a solid dunk from time to time.

Like David Gardner said when identifying up-and-coming 2027s in the summer of 2024, “Bresson understands positioning which leads to high activity on the glass, creating plenty of high-percentage put-back opportunities.”

Grady Bresson Grady Bresson 6'6" Friend | 2027 NE jumps off the court to anyone watching him perform live with his mixture of natural length and athletic ability. Bresson is one of those prospects that you have to worry about while attacking the rim because if not, it will end in a tip, deflection, or monstrous block out of bounds. This was one of the bigger athletes at this event and he did a great job at using his size to his advantage. I’d assume if he does this during the school year that he would average some respectable numbers at Friend High School, so I’m sure that’s the goal moving forward. A goal that is definitely plausible.
