After several seasons with the Braves across multiple age groups, Jake Lloyd is back on deck.
Lloyd, 24, will join the "new-look" squad under the guidance of coach Stephen Black who said the 193m forward would play a key role with the team.
"Jake is a long, athletic player who can do a lot of different things on the court that will complement the way we want to play," he said.
"He has shown himself to be a natural leader over the pre-season and will have a great opportunity to showcase his talents this year."
Basketball news:
Lloyd averaged almost five points a game in the COVID-19 interrupted 2021 season.
