Today, the NEPSAC Profiles series continues with a look at Proctor Academy.   Located in Andover, New Hampshire, Proctor is a private boarding and day school that competes in the NEPSAC B division.   Proctor Academy will be led this winter by [player_tooltip player_id='2341409' first='Brode' last='Frink'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2634124' first='Wilkin' last='Paulino']   Frink, a big wing, has a nose for the ball on the offensive and defensive glass. He's improved as a scorer, which has allowed him to round out his offensive game. He's a versatile piece that can defend multiple positions while making an impact on the offensive end with his athleticism and physicality.   Paulino, an Albany commit, is a dynamic scorer with good size on the perimeter. He's an impact player on both ends of the floor, utilizing his athleticism, high basketball IQ, and length to make a difference. He can score at all three levels, makes good decisions with the ball in his hands, and keeps opposing ball-hanlders out of the paint.   Below are six more prospects that should have a major impact for the Wildcats:   [player_tooltip player_id='2696641' first='Khari' last='Bryan']   A big lead guard, Bryan is a dynamic playmaker that makes good decisions with the ball in transition and the halfcourt. He does a good job of making reads out of ball screens, can get into the paint off the bounce, and has developed as a finisher in the paint. Defensively, he's a tough on-ball defender that can guard all 94'.   [player_tooltip player_id='2325852' first='Chris' last='Chol']   Chol, a high level football recruit, is a force on the basketball court, utilizing his athleticism, power, and versatility. He's capable of guarding on the perimeter or in the post, can provide rim protection, and does a great job on the defensive glass. He finishes with power around the rim and has some driving game off the bounce too.   [player_tooltip player_id='2568500' first='Emmanuel' last='Fosu']   A 5'9" guard, Fosu is a talented ball-handler that knows how to get into the paint and create for his teammates. He's capable of scoring from behind the arc, does a good job of chasing down loose balls, and moves well laterally, allowing him to be a solid point of attack defender.   [player_tooltip player_id='2711296' first='Andrew' last='Huff']   Huff, at 6'3", is a big guard with a solid offensive game. He's a capable scorer from behind the arc, has proven to be a willing ball mover, and does a good job of playing within the flow of the offense. Defensively, he's a solid on-ball defender that is able to rebound at a high level from the wing.   Finn O'Neill   A 6'4" wing, O'Neill has continued to round out his offensive game over the last few months. He's terrific in catch and shoot situations, does a good job of moving without the ball, and can finish through contact at the rim. He's a multi-positional defender that does a good job on the defensive glass.   [player_tooltip player_id='2711264' first='Joshua' last='Tedeschi']   Only a sophomore, Tedeschi has proven to be a consistent and reliable shooter from behind the arc. He does a good job of moving without the ball, getting shot ready before the catch, and leveraging his shooting to open up driving lanes. Defensively, he shows a high IQ and the ability to create steals off the ball.
