There have been 15 players that found their name at the list of players, that joined the rest of the squad in the first practice: Travis Evee, Jamari Smith, Jaden Bediako, Ilija Đoković, Aleksa Ćubić, Lovre Runjić, Lovro Buljević, Milija Miković, Srđa Bulatović, Vlado Komnenović, Novak Peković, Lazar Radetić i Matija Spičanović. Branden Jenkins has arrived straight from the airport to observe the practice and since the next day he will rejoin the practice process.
During the first practice of his team, the head coach Mihailo Pavićević stated: “The most important thing for this team, our town and our country is for Mornar, a club with a beautiful basketball tradition, to continue to work and promote not only itself, but also Bar and Montenegro. The team is brand new. The fact that is undisputed is that we are late with the start of the training camp. There will be intensive, but never shorter preparations. Who knows why this is good. Perhaps, we manage to do the same as the USA National Team, that gathers ten days ahead of each competition. Even if we had a complete training camp, it would be hard for us to count on wins against Budućnost VOLI in Round 1, Crvena zvezda Meridianbet in Round 2 and Cedevita Olimpija in Round 3. So we will be preparing during the season and I believe that we will have something to show already against Mega MIS in Round 4 and especially in Round 5 at home against Borac Mozzart.”

Početak priprema za Mornar-Barsko zlato
Ekipa Mornara se 9. septembra prvi put okupila i započela užurbane pripreme za novu sezonu u Admiralbet ABA ligi. Ovo će za Ponos Bara biti deveta uzastopna sezona, podjednako izazovna kao i prošla u kojoj se crnogorski tim do kraja borio za prvoligaški status.
Na prozivci se našlo 15 igrača: Trevis Ivi, Džamari Smit, Džejden Bedijako, Ilija Đoković, Aleksa Ćubić, Lovre Runjić, Lovro Buljević, Milija Miković, Srđa Bulatović, Vlado Komnenović, Novak Peković, Lazar Radetić i Matija Spičanović. Zadnji se na treningu, pravo sa aerodroma u civilu pojavio Brenden Dženkins kome je stručni štab dozvolio da isprati trening, a da se od sjutra priključi trenažnom procesu.
Mihailo Pavićević, šef stručnog štaba Mornara-Barsko zlato na prozivci je izjavio: "Najbitnija stvar za ovu ekipu, grad i našu državu jeste da Mornar, klub sa lijepom košarkaškom tradicijom, nastavlja da radi i promoviše ne samo sebe nego i Bar i Crnu Goru. Ekipa je potpuno nova. Nesporna je činjenica da kasnimo sa početkom priprema. Očekuju nas intenzivne, ali nikad kraće pripreme. Ko zna zašto je to dobro. Možda se i nama posreći kao američkoj reprezentaciji koja se okuplja desetak dana pred početak takmičenja. I da smo imali pune pripreme teško da bismo mogli da računamo na bodove protiv Budućnosti u prvom kolu, Crvene zvezde u drugom i Cedevite Olimpije u trećem, pa i Mege u gostima u četvrtom. Dakle, pripremaćemo se između utakmica i vjerujem da ćemo već protiv Mege imati šta da pokažemo i naročito u petom kolu protiv Borca u „Topolici“."
