The Breakers confirmed the re-signing of CJ Bruton today for another two years and are convinced others in the table-topping side will follow but there is considerable doubt about whether Cedric Jackson will return.
The 26-year-old point guard has often been described by many observers in the Australian league as NBA quality and he hopes they are right. He's had a small taste of the NBA - he played 12 games during four 10-day stints for three different clubs in 2009/10 - and will return to the US once the Breakers season is over to suit up for a number of NBA camps.
They are ruthless exercises, where countless talented players come up against other equally talented players in the hope of being given a shot.
He would have a lot more certainty if he re-signed with the Breakers - and the club have told them they want him back - not to mention more court time and influence but the lure of the NBA is difficult for most players to ignore.
"I have told the owners I definitely want to follow my dream and get back to the NBA but I wouldn't rule out coming back,'' he said. "I have a lot of NBA camps this summer. Hopefully everything goes well and, if it all goes to plan, I will be staying home. If it doesn't happen, I would definitely look to come back.''
