Mitch Creek signs with 36ers

"Love the Wolf bit. Perhaps Skip could play a wolf call when he gets on court.

Aaawooooooooo"

I second that Jack... and when he dunks, we need to hear a bit of Werewolves of London!

Get on it Skip!

Watching that YouTube video reminded me of the Michael J Fox movie "Teen Wolf". I think the Wolf nickname will stick

Be nice to see Creek and Abercrombie go at it in a couple of seasons. Looks to be a great signing for the Sixers, hopefully he can get some court time and make the most of his opportunities.

JP, according to the info from the Albert Schweitzer Basketball Tournament site (MACDUB mentioned it above) Mitch is 195cm - but being 18 he could still be growing!

If you do a search, there is another thread that talks about him last year. Think the thread was called "who's the next Sam Mackinnon" or similar.

Creek's has just 2 flaws...he is very much a lefty, and he does not yet have a reliable long range shot on him. Apart from that, at his age, he is a rare talent.

Nice signing by the Sixers. Probably just signed the best u18 player in the country! Its been a long while since the Sixers could say that I'm guessing.

Do people think he is worth starting and letting him flourish? Or atleast coming off the bench for plenty of minutes ala Newley and Ingles in there rookie seasons? I hope so, hopfully this signing will be the end of top young guys not coming to Adelaide

AWESOME, good to see Clarkes AIS background paying off with recruiting a top quality rookie, i think this kind of signing is what we all hoped for/expected when Clarke signed on as coach

Best young talent now in the NBL. This guy could well be holding down the small forward position in the Boomers team within 4 years. He is rare athletic talent that can score and rebound.

I hope Clarke gives him a red-hot go, because if he does, he will could be rookie of the year.

As the MVP of the Albert Schweitzer Basketball Tournament, it can be assumedhe would've had some good colleges wanting his services.
Either the 36ers deal is very enticing or he simply doesn't want to go to college in the US.
Yep, born in 1992.

Let's just hope they spell his name correctly on the contract.

I guess in the event he has a bad game we can ask him where he left his paddle?

Huge signing. Had the privledge of playing against him.
Has ridicolous athletic abilities, rebounds the basketball and is really improving his outside shooting.
I guess college wasn't for him?
