HEAD coach Paul James believes Worcester Wolves are becoming “hard to stop” as they continue their free-scoring form.

Wolves made it nine wins from nine in the British Basketball League last weekend with a 126-97 thrashing of Newcastle Eagles and an 88-72 victory at Glasgow Rocks.

They got the double without prolific power forward Maurice Walker due to a hamstring injury.

James said his team not only showed “professionalism” but an ability to find “many different ways” to get the ball in the hoop with several players racking up high scores.

Trey Zeigler top scored with a 37-point haul while Alex Navajas finished on 29 and Marek Klassen on 25 against Newcastle.

Danny Huffor and Jermel Kennedy shared the scoring with 20 apiece at Glasgow.

“I am delighted with how things went as it was a really tough weekend for us to play the second and third-placed teams in the league,” James said.

“We were very professional and clinical, especially as we didn’t play Mo either, so the other guys stepped up fantastically.

“I think we have eight or nine players who at some point have led the team in scoring which shows the depth we have.

“You have got to be delighted with that as that makes us a very dangerous team and hard to stop.

“You can’t say this is their main player you need to stop and then we stop the team. They have got to stop everybody and that makes us a very strong team.”

Fifth-placed Wolves are the second highest scorers in the league with 2,574 points in 29 games behind Newcastle who have notched up 2,613 in 28.

“Right now we can score in so many different ways as we have got so many different options,” James continued.

“I think over the last 10 games we have averaged nearly 100 points a game having only given up 80 or so.

“That is hard to stop and as long as we can continue to share the ball like we have been doing, find the hot hand at any given moment and be really stingy at the defensive end we give ourselves a chance of winning a game.

“I have been really delighted with how it has all come together.”

James has also been pleased with the impact of Zeigler who has tasted success in all eight of his appearances for Worcester since joining in February.

The American small forward has averaged 14.25 points per game and Wolves’ boss says he has encouraged him to be “more selfish”.

“I am really pleased with Trey,” said James whose side travel to Plymouth Raiders on Sunday (4pm).

“At times when we have been playing well he has had to fit in and not try to do too much early on.

“He was trying to fit in with everyone else to a point where I thought he was being a little too unselfish as he was allowing things to happen around him whereas he needs to be more selfish and show what he can do.

“He is starting to do that now and is every bit the player we thought he would be.”
