36ers confirm Mitch Creek signing
?
The Adelaide 36ers have secured the services of one of the most promising young talents in Australian basketball, 18 year old, Mitch Creek.
Creek has been signed to replace the injured Nathan Herbert this season and has committed to the 36ers for a further year as well.
The AIS scholarship holder has proven that he is more than capable of playing at an NBL level with his international success in the last 12 months. His high standard of play culminating in his MVP award at this years Albert Schweitzer Tournament in Germany. The Albert Schweitzer Tournament is for international players under the age of 18 and features many players touted as future NBA stars.
The added benefit of this signing for the 36ers is that Creek is rated a 1 point player under the NBL's player points system.
Creek promises to bring raw athletic talent to the 36ers squad and fans can expect to see some highlights from Mitch this year as he does enjoy "playing above the rim"
In a twist to this signing the 36ers will still need to seek a player in the short term for their 10 man roster.
Creek has undergone successful ankle surgery last Tuesday and has been immediately placed on injury waivers by the 36ers. It is expected he will miss the first 6 games of the 2010 iiNet Championship.
The 36ers expect his arrival in Adelaide within 4 weeks upon completion of his surgery rehabilitation
