Chandler Wilson, Paulo Freire
It didn’t take the Panthers junior long to settle in during his first season with Paulo Freire last winter. Wilson, who formerly played at Woodstock Academy, averaged 24 points per game for the Panthers last season as a sophomore. Standing at 6′ 3, he flashed his ability to shoot from the outside and penetrate for dunks. He currently holds scholarship offers from Siena College and Rider University.
