Prezzie-Blue Moving on

Worcester Wolves have announced that Sherrad Prezzie-Blue will not be returning to the team next season.

Director of Basketball Paul James explained the decision not to offer his point guard a new contract, saying:

“It was a difficult time for Prezzie last season at the Wolves. Visa issues meant that he didn’t arrive until a large part of the season had already gone, and things became even harder when he then picked up an injury after just a few games. Unfortunately this meant he had very little time to settle into his role with the team.

“Once Prezzie got back on court after recovering from his injury, other players had already got used to covering his position, meaning that both he and the rest of the players had a big adjustment to make in a very short time. Taking all that happened into account, a decision to explore other options at the point guard position was made.”

In what turned into a disjointed second year in Worcester for Prezzie-Blue, he averaged ten points and three assists over just 16 games. These numbers were far below the 17 points and five assists he posted in a highly-impressive debut season in the city.

James is sure there will be other clubs keen to secure his services, commenting:

“It was a tough decision not to ask Prezzie to come back. He has been a model player at this club, and also when he has represented the University side. I’m sure there are many teams who would like that sort of person in their setup.”
