Wayne Chism has played for Yeng Guiao long enough that he admits playing for other coach would be like walking in the dark.
Chism embarks on a new chapter in his PBA journey as he returns to Asia's first play for pay league for another tour of duty. This time though, he will be suiting up for Magnolia
"It's gonna be very different. I got to get used to everybody, the coaches and the players," he said.
The Hotshots brought Chism back as they will trot their fourth reinforcement in the 2018 PBA Commissioner's Cup, following Vernon Macklin, Curtis Kelly, and Justin Jackson.
At Magnolia, Chism will be reunited with Paul Lee, his former teammate at Rain or Shine.

"I'm already good with Paul so that's ok there. It's gonna help a lot because I've known Paul for a while and I'll be adjusted real quick," he said.
But he will have his work cut out for him, with the Hotshots sitting on a dangerous position this conference at eighth place with their 4-5 slate.
Chism, though, believes that this team is bound for bigger things, as the former Best Import awardee has his sights set on the championship, the only trophy that has eluded him in his past stints in the league.
"It'd be great (if I win a championship here). I'm gonna try," he said. "It will be awesome though so I'll try my best to get Magnolia to the Finals."
Chism makes his Magnolia debut on July 4, interestingly against NLEX, his last team in the PBA until a call from the Hotshots came along.(DL)
