"I feel really confident. It's a big challenge for me and I'm looking forward to it. It's a new challenge, like a fresh start. That motivates me a lot. Me and coach Obradovic spoke enough. He made me believe in his plans. I like coaches who have plans and visions. Being on the same page with him made me more excited and comfortable", Punter said on his signing."When I was at Red Star, people didn't ask me questions about Partizan. But I'm familiar with the basketball history in Serbia and what they've done in the past. If we're going to have fans, it will be a crazy, amazing season! Everyone's excited. It's a fresh, new team. I'm extremely happy about it", he went on to say.

Asked about when he will arrive in Belgrade, he responded: "I'm not too sure about that. I'm still trying to see when I'm coming to Belgrade officially. Obviously, in time for training camp."
