Dylewicz has been Polish champion seven times so far, with Trefl Sopot in particular, for whom he or their successor team he played intermittently, including a year in the Italian Lega Basket Serie A , from 1997 to 2013. The Polish international won his last championship in 2014 with PGE Turów Zgorzelec. He received the award as Most Valuable Player of the play-off final series in 2014, which he had already received in 2008.

Career

Dylewicz grew up in the youth teams of Astoria Bydgoszcz and moved to Sopot in 1997 , who had made it through to the top division Polska Liga Koszykówki as Prokom Trefl two years after the club was founded . In the 2000/01 season, the team was able to place itself among the top teams in the league for the first time and reached third place in the play-offs for the title. In the cup competition played as a league cup in 2001, they defended the title win from the previous year. After the runner-up in 2002 Dylewicz was given up in the 2002/03 season to league rivals Znicz from Pruszków , whose professional team was dissolved in sixth place after the end of the season. After his return, Dylewicz reached with Prokom Trefl, who had won the runner-up again in 2003 as the main round first, the first championship with the club, which should be followed by five consecutive title wins. Former junior national player Dylewicz, who also made his debut in the Polish men's national team in 2003, was able to increase his playing time in the Polish league from an average of 15 minutes per game in 2003 to an average of 28 minutes per game in 2009, although legionnaires were increasingly being signed for the team to be competitive in international club competitions.

In the ULEB Cup 2003/04 Prokom Trefl reached the knockout games in the round of 16, in which they were eliminated against the eventual title winner Hapoel Jerusalem . As a Polish champion you then took part in the highest-ranking European club competition ULEB Euroleague . In the 2004/05 season , the team won seven of 14 preliminary round games and reached the first round of the 16 best teams, in which, however, no further success was achieved. In the following season you could not repeat this success and retired in a strong group of four later quarter-finalists after five wins. These five successes were enough in the ULEB Euroleague 2006/07 this time to move into the intermediate round, in which one could achieve a victory in six games. After successfully qualifying, the Polish selection took part in a final tournament of the European basketball championship for the first time after a ten-year break . In the 2007 European Championship finals , however, the team lost all three preliminary round matches and was eliminated early. After the elimination in the preliminary round of the ULEB Euroleague 2007/08 , Trefl Sopot reached in the changed format of the ULEB Euroleague 2008/09 two successes in ten games to move into the intermediate round, in which again only one further victory in six games followed. At the 2009 European Championship finals in their own country, however, Dylewicz was removed from the Polish squad by Israeli national coach Muli Katzurin shortly before the tournament began.

After the main sponsor Ryszard Krauze managed to move Prokom Trefl, now called Asseco Prokom, to Gdynia , Dylewicz, who was MVP of the Polish final series in 2008, decided to move abroad and played for the Italian first division team in the 2009/10 season A.IR. from Avellino in Campania together with his national team mate Szymon Szewczyk . But the Italian cup winner from 2008 missed the play-offs for the championship for the second time in a row in ninth place because of the poorer direct comparison . The Polish selection, in which Dylewicz was represented again, failed in the summer of 2010 due to the direct qualification for the 2011 European Championship finals . Only after increasing the field of participants could Poland participate again, but Dylewicz was no longer represented in the 2011 final squad. He himself had already returned to Sopot after a year in Italy, where, after Asseco Prokom had moved under the old name Trefl, a new team had been founded that had entered the PLK top division by wildcard . After third place in the regular season Trefl lost the semi-final series in seven games against PGE Turów Zgorzelec and then the games for third place. With Łukasz Koszarek , who returned from Italy, and the German-Polish youngster David Brembly , Trefl won his first title in the 2012 cup competition after the re-establishment and also took first place in the regular season, in the local rival and series champion Asseco Prokom in the VTB United League played. In the final series for the championship, the former Sopot team and the new team around Dylewicz met, but Asseco Prokom was able to prevail again in seven games and defend the title for the ninth time in a row. Without Koszarek, who first switched to Asseco Prokom and then to Stelmet Zielona Góra , Trefl reached the play-offs for the championship in second place, but in these they were eliminated in the first round against AZS Koszalin .

For the 2013/14 season, Dylewicz also moved to Lower Silesia on the German border to PGE Turów from Zgorzelec . In a new edition of last year's final series, the team was able to defeat the defending champion and regional rival Stelmet Zielona Góra and win the first Polish championship title after five runners-up in seven years. As in 2008, Dylewicz was named MVP of the play-off finals series.
