Mills eyes final Portland spot

Patrick Mills will turn down lucrative offers from Europe as he attempts to
force his way into the Portland Trail Blazers NBA squad.
The Canberra basketballer left the capital yesterday to fly back to the
United States and edge closer to his NBA dream.
He has almost recovered from the broken foot which crippled his bid to secure
a contract with the Portland franchise.
Mills will have an X-ray on October6 and is expected to be cleared to return
to the court.
He will then need to bounce back to his sparkling best immediately to
convince Trail Blazers coaches and management he has a future in the world's
best league.
Portland has just one spot left to fill on its NBA roster for the season
which begins on October27.
''They've kept in regular contact to see how my foot is going so at least I
know they're still keen and interested,'' Mills said.
''The goal is to play in the NBA not Europe.
''There are some offers from overseas clubs, but Portland haven't got rid of
me yet so that's good signs and that's where I want to be.
''It's certainly going to be challenging and ideally Europe is out of the
question ... it's more about me marking myself in the NBA and cementing my
spot there.''
Portland took Mills at pick55 in the NBA draft in June.
But on the first day of practice with his new club, the 21-year-old broke his
foot and was ruled out of action for four months.
