With an outstanding offseason, and great Fiba Asia Cup, could Mitch Creek be in line for a potential most improved season? He is yet to really have a full breakout year (mainly due to injury) and he is absolutely balling at the moment!
Anything on last seasons off-court antics would be an improvement
I've never really thought much of Creek, but pretty impressed with the way he's playing in the Asia Cup. However it is a lower level of competition to the NBL and whether that will translate to a great season, time will tell. I highly doubt he will snag most improved, mostly because the expectations of him are high.
Sixers need to chauffeur him around and he'll be fine.
And intrue Aussie form, letsssss focus on some negatives. Well done guys.
I guess the Summer league wasn't that great either.
Summer league and now boomers are both great exposure to higher level ball. That will only help moving forward, learning of different coaches, players, support staff etc.
Hes now also at the right age to mature as a person and player so who knows how he will go this season, i personally hope he exceeds expectations .

To be honest I have been waiting for a Creek breakout year for 4 seasons now.
Each year it is discussed his shooting has improved, yet it doesn't necessarily translate on the court.
I hope for his sake it does improve because Drmic and Deng could take some of his time.
Anon, that was sacasim pal! I knew someone would say something about the summer league, without focusing on the fact he made it!

Creek was superb last season, I think he's already broken out folks!

Creek had great patches last season and looked great before the injury. Would be awesome to see what he can do with a solid preseason under his belt, if he stays healthy for the full regular season.
LOL at "making it" to the Summer League. Anyone can make it, they key is to perform in it. Wooppedoo you were in the Summer League, every journeyman has.

Every off-season there's an "is this his breakout year?" discussion. I think the positive thing is that whether or not it is, there are incremental improvements regardless.
At this point, I don't know that Drmic or Deng have a skillset as broad to overtake him?

If Creek leaves the Sixers for Europe after this season as has been suggested that would be the only way Drmic or Deng could eat into his minutes the following season.

I think Paul might be right, Creek already has broken out....sorry folks but that's it.
Watched the last Asia cup game and thought that Creek should be dunking that stuff.....not that 'Aged veteran finger roll' looking shit.
Creek has terrible tattoos.
Playing great though...
Aged veteran finger roll? Have you actually been watching?
Anon, your "LOL" at making Summer League makes you seem very uneducated in the process. You see, it's actually not all that common, in fact Sobey and Creek were the only two Aussies from the NBL this year. "Every journeyman", name these Aussie journeyman from the NBL please? A handful at best.
Since making an NBA Summer League team is easy, please enlighten me to the process with your vast knowledge.
Making it to a glorified summer scrimmage as fodder for the higher up draft picks isn't an achievement. Doing something in it is. They didn't. Move on.
You sir, are a very ignorant person. Your distain can only be seen as first class tall poppy syndrome. The amount of people that try to make this so called "glorified Summer scrimmage" is remarkable. Many have tried and failed. My biggest failure is responding to a troll. People like you are the reason the NBL originally took a dive in the first place.
