Hunt was yesterday offered a three-day trial with NBA club the Dallas Mavericks. The sharp-shooting guard will trial with the Mavericks in May. Hunt, his fiancee Erin Bosworth, and two friends were courtside to watch the Dallas Mavericks in an NBA clash on Thursday night. But, by night's end, Hunt had not only met Dallas general manager Don Nelson and toured the training facilties, but signed on for a try-out with the club. It capped a remarkable week in which the 27-year-old guard from Eaglehawk sunk a last-second three-pointer for his college, Texas Wesleyan, to win the NAIA national championship. In his final college game in the US, Hunt sunk the winning shot with two-hundredths of a second to play. The basketball star's parents, Peter and Rikki, were ecstatic about yesterday's news of a try-out with Dallas. In this season's action for the Rams, Ben Hunt averaged 18 points, six rebounds and two assists per game. New National Basketball League club the South Dragons have also shown interest in signing the former Bendigo Braves and Ballarat Miners guard.</div>
Oh, I see. Well, the Mavs are almost packed, but in case Terry leaves, we'll need some more depth off the bench.
