Hunt’s versatility, shooting ability, and experience at both domestic and international levels are expected to add depth and leadership to the Saints roster, while also inspiring the next generation of Hutt Valley basketball talent.

"Bringing Jordan home was an exciting move from the moment discussions began. From the club's perspective, it was a no-brainer. We understand the impact he can have and have a great deal of respect for what hes achieved in this league.
