CJ Bruton secures try-out with Jailblazers
AUSTRALIA point guard C.J. Bruton is finally set for a shot at his National Basketball Association dream, nearly a decade after he was drafted.
Bruton, 30, was acting coy about his future movements today, but the two-time National Basketball League champion will head to Portland for a try-out next month after a deal was reached with Sydney Kings to end his contract on March 31.

Bruton said a club had been monitoring him since a tour of China with the Australia team in July last year.
"I know they're over there watching, which is nice," he said.
"They've followed the whole NBL season. Even when I went to China, they were watching."
