The United States import has brought her court craft and calm presence back for a second stint with the Southern Hoiho this season.
Her golf clubs have also made the trip to New Zealand this time, with the point guard lapping up the Tauihi Basketball Aotearoa window being shifted to the latter months of the year.
Bradley has been making the most of the spring weather, signing up to the Otago Golf Club at Balmacewen and having a hit-around with coach Todd Marshall.
"I just enjoy how beautiful it is," Bradley said about Dunedin.
"I’m definitely enjoying my time here."
Bradley wanted to return to the Southern Hoiho — "really happy to be back" — and was a standout in her first season, making the Tauihi all-star five.
She has returned with that form this season and helped get the Southern Hoiho, who lost their opening three games, secure back-to-back wins against the Whai and the Mainland Pouakai.
"We’ve had spurts of greatness in each game and I think these last couple of games it was nice to show that we can put some of that together to get a win.
"We have some offensive weapons and defensively was big for us last game.
"To see that defence come together that we’ve been practicing and preparing for has been really nice.
"If we continue to put all those offensive and defensive elements together ... I’m hoping to take that momentum even further and into the playoffs."
Defensively they were massive against the Whai two weeks ago, where they kept former WNBA player Ashley Joens to a season low eight points.
The Southern Hoiho will be searching for more of that when they come up against the Whai in Taupo tonight.
The Whai have the double-header this round and have already had a punishing 81-48 loss to the defending champions the Northern Kahu on Thursday.
"Whai’s only going to want to come back from that loss ... as well as losing to us.
"I’m sure they’re going to come in guns blazing"
United States import Mikayla Cowling, who has been out with a foot injury, returns for the Whai and Bradley said they needed to respect her game.
The Southern Hoiho needed to throw in different elements to "keep them on their toes" while also taking the momentum of what worked in the past few games into tonight’s clash.
"After those first few games we started taking that very seriously, transition defence and personal defence, and just owning our assignment that we have each game," Bradley said.
"We’ve got to stick to that again this week."
