The 26-year-old also impressed the Nets during his workouts at the team’s training facility in mid-June.
Creek's contract is understood to include an Exhibit 10 clause, meaning the Nets have the option to convert the deal into a two-way contract at any time prior to the regular season.
It essentially provides the Aussie with the opportunity to attend training camp with three potential outcomes.
The best case scenario will see him perform so well that the Nets sign him to their opening night roster. Given Brooklyn's current roster, the franchise's focus on recruiting good people and head coach Kenny Atkinson’s fondness for mobile forwards, that is seen as a genuine possibility.
Secondly, the Nets may decide following training camp to convert Creek’s deal into a two-way contract, meaning he will split time between Brooklyn and their G-League affiliate, the Long Island Nets.
The third possibility will occur if the Nets waive Creek prior to the start of the regular season. Exhibit 10 deals provide financial incentives for players to stick with the team’s G-League affiliate if they don’t make the opening night roster and do not have their contract converted into a two-way.
That outcome will see Creek play the season with Long Island under newly-appointed head coach Will Weaver and Aussie assistant Damian Cotter, former head coach of the Sydney Kings.
Weaver has developed a strong relationship with Creek over recent years through his role as an assistant coach of the Australian National Team.
