Obradovic, 61, had been working with younger members of the squad since last week, but the first official team practice was held today, Monday. The team will head to Zlatibor tomorrow for the next couple of weeks.
Moore alongside Marcus Paige, and William Mosley are expected to join the team soon.

Partizan, following a series of friendly games to complete the preseason, will head into the 7DAYS EuroCup and the ABA League labeled among the strong favorites of both competitions.
