"One of the main factors, I would say, is the fact that we are building something, just the stability of the team, of us, is building something for the future," Punter said. "Obviously it is an up and down season but it still doesn't take away the fact that we have the chance to do some good things. I am enjoying myself on and off the court. My connection with my teammates and coaches and everyone around is going really, really well. I am happy and want to continue to be happy moving forward."
During his career, Punter has also played for GS Lavrio and AEK Athens of Greece, Port of Antwerp Giants of Belgium, Rosa Radom of Poland and Virtus Segafredo Bologna of Italy.
