Nice!
Stoked for him.

2 years ago I would not have thought this was in his future.

Very well done.

Great
I thought he'd get his chance this season with a 10-day but I figured it would be because the Nets would be terrible and tanking (I.e. 15-34).

But they're 6th and 3 games above .500; so a really good environment to go into.

Well deserved.

Impossible, I have it on good authority (ie. random posters on this board) that he is no chance of making an NBA roster.

Congrats to him.

Fantastic news to wake up too. Hopefully he can get some playing time and earn another one.

No compensation no as he was a G-League player not an NBL player.

Hopefully this follows the usual process and he gets a second 10 day after this one and then a contract for the rest of the season ala Luke Schenscher.

Congrats to Creek for all his hard work, the bonus is it's probably unlikely he signs with SE Melb now ;)

Trajan Langdon tells Mitch the good news

"Congrats to Creek for all his hard work, the bonus is it's probably unlikely he signs with SE Melb now ;)"

Plenty of guys have been spat out from 10 days back to G-League. Even if he gets multiple 10 days or is signed for the rest of the season (best case) that's no guarantee thatl he get an NBA gig next season.

Awesome news for Creek, well deserved and a huge positive for our league. And a huge positive to Adelaide as well, as stupid as they are to suggest they deserve $ previously.

I know but as it's likely he gets a second 10 dayer and then a contract for the rest of the season as he's been in the Nets system all season so they already know what they're getting then it's likely with his foot now in the door either the Nets or another team gives him at least a training camp invite or possibly full contract next season.

It's the way the NBA works look at Ingles. No team wanted a bar of him the Clippers gave him a training camp invite which got his foot in the NBA door and once released Utah snapped him up.

Obviously there is no guarantee he gets an NBA contract next season but what has changed is the chances of him playing for SE Melb have now significantly reduced.

He would be mad to now walk away from the NBA and future opportunities there to come back to the NBL next season.

Why is it likely he gets a contract until the end of the season? I would say it is *unlikely*, as he's been signed due to a current rash of injuries, but they're expecting guys like Dinwiddie, Crabbe and LeVert to come back this season. Also, they're trying to make a playoff run.

Mitchy mate, if ya readin this mate, congrats mate, onya, proud of ya, been workin for it, keep fightin, ya deserve it, prove it to em, bloody believe in ya brutha, bestyettacum mate.

Its good that you have observed so many people on here anon.
You do realize many posters are anonymous.

Creek above Broekoff?

No wonder you posted as an anon.

I was certainly one of those who said he wouldn't make it because he lacks in critical skill areas, but more than happy to be proven wrong.

Creek v Broekoff: they are completely different players whose production would differ from team to team. Hard to compare

So Mitch Creek works hard to try to fulfil his NBA dream.

He becomes one of only 20 odd Aussies to play in NBA.

He scores in his first game. How many can say that?

His 10 day contract is, presumably, a standard 10 day contract.

How many players have had 10 day contracts extended? How many players have had 10 day contracts lead to a season contract or better?

Why are we even questioning him now? Let him take this ride as far as he can.

"Broekhoff is an overrated player for mine. Is a lights out stand-still shooter but doesn't do much else."

You haven't watched him play in the limited opportunity he has had in Dallas have you?

Mitch enjoyed more burn today with 18 minutes of play for 6 points, 5 boards, 1 assist and 1 steal (+/- team best of +6).
