Delly picked up a West Coast Conference (WCC) Player of the Week Award last week after leading the Gaels to a perfect 3-0 record against San Francisco, Gonzaga and finally Portland.

Dellavedova leads the WCC conference in assists with 6.6 per game, which is one of the best averages in the country. He leads the Gaels in scoring over the season with a 15.1 per game average.

Now considered one of the top players in school history after only two and a half seasons, Delly is among the career leaders in scoring, assists, three-point shooting and games started.
