Coach Dean was pleased for Wilfrid &#8220;We&#8217;ve always believed we have one of the best guards in the league.  Knowing Wilfrid&#8217;s aspirations, it&#8217;s great that other coaches recognise his abilities also.  I know how hard he works and the sacrifices he makes.  I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;ll be pleased, but he wont be satisfied.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We spoke with Coach Lucio on the phone, who was beaming with praise, for the London based guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s fantastic to see Wilfrid Santhe recognised with this well deserved nomination. Having coached Wilfrid as a junior and now during the offseason I&#8217;ve witnessed his growth.  His commitment, resilience and his relentless work ethic to master the details and fundamentals have been essential. Wilfrid is not only a standout player.  He is also one of the most humble and empathetic individuals I\u2019ve had the privilege to coach. This nomination feels completely right!  It reflects both the player and the person he continues to grow into. I\u2019m incredibly proud of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 4th year PG leads Worcester Wolves in games played (65) career points (666) and career assists (255). In addition to leading in steals (109) and rebounds (235). &#8220;Wilfrid has worked hard from the moment he got here as a first year student. So in some ways, him leading in all these categories is no surprise.&#8221; said Coach Dean.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wilfrid winning the award means that a Wolves player has been recognised for an award each of the four seasons the team has competed in the NBL.  In the 2023-24 season Humberto Ferrier won Defensive Player of the Year.  The 2022-23 season saw Wilfrid win DPOY honours.  Our first year returning to the NBL saw Coach Dean win Coach of the Year and Lucas McGregor win Player of the Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#Togetheron3 #LetsGoWorcester<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After another strong statistical season.
