Mitch Dix, a 6'8" big-man, has signed on at Norwood for the 2022 Coles Express NBL1 Central season.
Dix, a club junior, returned to play U21 last year and has impressed.
In 2021, in the U21 division, he averaged 11 points, nine rebounds and 1.5 assists.
He also added a three-point shot to his game, hitting five in 11 games at 33 percent.
His enthusiasm, passion, intensity, and hard work are all huge culture-building characteristics that he brings to the team in both training and games.
Coach Tim Odell echoed these sentiments.
"Mitch’s personality and character on and off the floor fit perfectly with our core values," Odell said.
"Being another key part of our young core, I’m excited to see him continue to develop his game and to help build our culture."
"A big frame, Mitch has a presence on the court at both ends of the floor.
"A constant communicator, he keeps the group engaged, focused and together.
"Mitch will look to back-up our import big, Anthony Green.
"The two already are battling hard at practice.
"Anthony also has taken a mentor role to Mitch, as he gives him tips and constant pointers in practice about playing the five."
Dix expressed his usual passion in articulating his feelings about this season.
"I’m very excited to be back at the Flames," he said.
"I love this group of boys and the energy they bring every time they hit the court.
"I can’t wait to see what the future holds and am very excited to be on the court in the blue and red."
