FC Barcelona Basketball: Kevin Punter Named Captain, Aleksander Sekulic Faces Integration Challenge with New Roster in ACB Preseason

A preseason exhibition match on the Andorra court, and I see an entire integration journey unfolding. As FC Barcelona prepares for the new ACB season, when players and new coaching staff must find ways to blend together for a strong tactical system, the Spanish club has spent valuable time at Comú d’Encamp, where they held training camps. Under the guidance of coach Aleksander Sekulic, the team conducted 5-on-5 sessions to test member compatibility. Among them, Kevin Punter – elected captain – showed clear confidence. He shared that it is a great honor, as he brings command experience from Partizan, where he helped the team overcome many challenges. New players like Joel Parra and Darío Brizuela are gradually adapting, with Sekulic emphasizing attitude and collective work spirit. Their first exhibition match against MoraBanc Andorra will give them a clearer view of coordination potential.
