TBL newcomer Trabzonspor Medical Park Basketbol added to their roster 32-year old Australian ex-international 196cm swingman Mitch Creek. Creek played this summer at Vancouver in Canadian CEBL. He managed to play in four leagues in four countries last year (!!!). In 8 CEBL games just recently he recorded very impressive stats: 26.0ppg, 8.6rpg and 2.4apg. Creek also played for Atleticos in Puerto Rican BSN where in four games he averaged remarkable 28.0ppg, 7.0rpg, 3.3apg and 1.0spg.
He was also a member of Australian international program for some years. Creek played for Australian Senior National Team between 2017 and 2019 and previously for U22 National Team back in 2015.
He also represented Australia at the World Cup in China five years ago. Creek’s team got to the Semifinals and his stats at that event were 8 games: 2.8ppg, 2.6rpg.
Creek is a very experienced player. Thanks to Creek’s pro career he managed to play on five different continents (Europe, Asia, Latin America, Australia and of course North America) in eight different countries. He has played previously professionally in NBA (Brooklyn Nets and Minnesota Timberwolves), Germany (BG Goettingen), Australia (Adelaide 36ers, Spectres, Noarlunga City Southern Tigers, Australian Institute Sport and South Adelaide Panthers), China (Flying Tigers), Puerto Rico (Mets), NBA G League (Long Island Nets), The Basketball Tournament (Money Team) and NBA Summer League (Minnesota Timberwolves). His team won CEBL Western Conference Regular Season in 2024.
Among many awards he was voted to Australiabasket.com All-Australian NBL Honorable Mention back in 2017.
The scouts decsribe him following way:
A true star at Junior level, where he can use his athletic skills and powerful body. But he needs to add perimetral shooting and passing, because his future is at 2 position, not sure at the 3-4 where he plays now.
