Professional career

The 2018–19 I Liga season was a turning point for him. In the first match against KKS Pro-Basket Kutno, he scored 28 points. Then, excluding one game, he regularly scored around 20 points. His "favorite" rival was SKK Siedlce, against whom he averaged 38 points in both matches.

On July 12, 2023, he signed with Hamburg Towers of the Basketball Bundesliga. [6] He moved to Bundesliga after years of trying. Main key was 2022/2023 season in which he developed his 3pt shot under eye of polish development coach and assistant coach Maksym Papacz. [7] Dziewa increased his 3pt percentage by 8,3%. Averaged 32.5% (2020/2022) and 40.8% (2022/2023) [8]

On August 8, 2024, he signed with Wilki Morskie Szczecin of the Polish Basketball League (PLK). [9]

National team
