The Gold Coast Rollers have re-signed Jaze Morris, Preston LeGassick and Jaryd Eustace for the 2022 Coles Express NBL1 North season.
Speaking about Morris' signing, GM Joel McInnes said: "We are extremely proud to bring Jaze Morris back for his seventh season with the rollers.
"Jaze has been a fan favourite for many years with his outside shooting and effort on defence.
"He is a Gold Coast junior who has consistently improved over the years."
Rollers coach Anthony Petrie said: "It’s really exciting to have a local Gold Coast junior in Jaze back at the club.
"It’s been great to be a part of his continual improvement since he has made the step into the team.
"He has developed into a consistent knockdown shooter and will always take the task of defending whoever is needed.
"On top of all that he is an excellent teammate and will always put the team before himself.
"These are qualities that are very hard to find but something we value strongly in our program.
"I’m sure the fans will love having him back and enjoy his athleticism and high flying dunks once again."
When discussing LeGassick's re-signing, Petrie said: "I’m really excited to have Preston back on board after his first season in the NBL1 was an interrupted experience.
"He did a fantastic job last year managing his schoolwork, Queensland U20 commitments, TSS basketball program and also the NBL1 program.
"He will be able to focus heavily this season on our program and continue to develop and get better.
"Preston has a unique skill set which isn’t seen often in Australian point guards.
"I still don’t think it is appreciated enough and I look forward as he continues to develop as one of the better guards in the Nation in his age group.
"He is a local junior and son of a Gold Coast basketball great and it’s always good to see the LeGassick name in Gold Coast basketball.
"He is a wonderful young man both on and off the floor and will be an integral member of our team moving forward."
NBL1 fans will remember Eustace for his game-winner back in May last year.
Coach Petrie can't wait for more magic moments like this in 2022.
"We are very happy to have Jaryd back at the club," Petrie said.
"He is becoming a regular for Gold Coast Basketball and the fans will be happy he is back.
"He is from good basketball stock and brings a unique skill set seldom seen at NBL1 level for his size.
"You mix all that with his high IQ and he is the perfect fit for the adaptable and flexible style we will look to play on both ends of the floor.
"On top of all this, he is another quality individual that will put the team before himself in making sure he can help in any way for us to be successful on game night."
