The Breakers are back in camp for the time this week since Feburary's exit out of the NBL.
And while there's plenty of change at Breakers HQ for this season, there's also a familiar face among the new line-up.
The balls back bouncing on the courts at Atlas Place after six months, but it's been a little longer than that for some.
"Landing was a little nostalgic," said the returning Tai Wesley. "You get that feeling, 'I know where I am'. I feel good about being here.
After he left the team at the start of 2016, new coach Kevin Braswell was able to lure his former Saints forward Tai Wesley back to Breakers colours.
It's a signing for Braswell that's had a flow-on effect with the addition of one of Wesley's competitors from Europe - former German first-grade all-star Patrick Richard.
"I know his game and I knew I could play with him," said Richard. "It's going to be fun."
Fellow American Armani Moore's also made the move, after three years in Europe.
"I'm the energy guy... trying to make everything that's loose in the game come together."
Both American players can play numerous position, which works well with the Breakers' new fast-paced approach.
"It's more like shifting towards the American style of play - which is faster, which is how coach KB wants us to play," says Moore.
"He wants us to get up and down the court, move the ball and stuff like that."
While he should get used to the new style, he's still coming to terms with a few things.
"Leaving the airport, seeing you guys driving on the other side of the road threw me off another loop."
So long as he's driving through the key for the Breakers, he should be okay.
