Mike Fitchett
NBL Team: Nelson Giants
Position: Guard
Born: September 20, 1982
Height: 1.83m
Fitchett was MVP when leading Nelson College to the 2000 NZ Secondary Schools title and has now amassed 150 games in 10 NBL seasons.
The highlight of his career so far was Nelson’s championship triumph last year, where Fitchett scored 34 points (8/10 3pt) in their overtime semifinal win against Waikato.
Already in tune with coach Nenad Vucinic’s new system, he debuted for New Zealand against Venezuela in 2007 and had another chance to step up the following year in the absence of veteran point guards Mark Dickel and Paul Henare.
