Right handed - and does not use his left well. This season, he is averaging 9.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, 0.7 blocks and 0.8 steals in 24.1 minutes. …He can really finish and rebound. He understands what he is, and where his strength is best used.

Where do I expect Prestes to be taken? He most likely will not be drafted.
Our best advice: In the 2005 draft Rajon Rondo was taken 21st. We had him listed 14th.
Our worst advice: In 1999 - the 21st pick was Jeff Foster. We said - "take Evan Eschmeyer".
