“I feel it’s more like a family,” he mentioned of the scholars he’s met alongside the way in which. “I feel like it’s my second home. Good, bad, they’re always going to support me. They always have my back. They’re like my brothers and sisters.”

His mom and father used to play basketball, so he was drawn to the game. It has grow to be greater than a ardour. Basketball means every thing to him.

It’s nearly the identical together with his coach, in order that’s one purpose they know one another so effectively.

“He’s a Steph Curry fan,” Bennett mentioned. “He’s a maniac when it comes to sports. When it’s basketball time, he’s fully focused and locked in. He takes it to another level.
