            Scouting Report: 6-9/6-10. Wide shoulders which gives him good length. Can play inside or outside. Good stroke when he faces up. Not sure he is quick enough to guard small forwards at the elite level. Should be a fine post defender though. Handles the ball well. Good patience in the post. Mindset and effort are the biggest things with Preston. He's very old for HS class plus bigger, stronger, more athletic than everyone in HS. If he embraces coaching from Bill Self, he will end up being very good.
