James continues to build impressive roster

The Wolves have been busy this summer bringing in new players for the 2013/2014 campaign, and with the season fast approaching the off season work still continues.

Director of basketball and head coach Paul James has signed Stefan Djukic, a 6ft 7” forward with vast European experience. The 24 year old  Portuguese / Serbian national started his career in Portugal among the junior sides, impressing enough to have the honour of representing Portugal at under-20 level.

Djukic has also had spells for several teams in the second division of the Serbian basketball league, and in 2011 his talents took him to one of Portugal’s top sides, Casino Figueira Ginasio.

More recently playing for Sampaesense Basketball where he averaged 8 points per game and 6 rebounds per game, he helped his side to reach the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup and quarter-finals of the season playoffs.

Paul James had this to say about his recent signing: “I like what Stefan can bring to the team. Despite his age, he’s already got plenty of European experience. Wherever he’s been, he’s always produced solid numbers in points and rebounds. I’m sure he’ll carry on that form at the Wolves and I look forward to him being a productive player for us.”

The Wolves now have one spot left on the roster for a non-British player, but for now Paul James waits patiently on that option saying: “While there are a number of players that I have my eye on, I don’t feel there is a need to rush into using up the last non-British spot. I’m really pleased with who we’ve already signed and will only make more signings if necessary, and when the time is right.”

You can see Djukic and all the latest signing when the squad are in action in the first home game of the season at the University of Worcester Arena on Friday 4 October.
