That roster shows how much they value size. 7 players listed as PF or C.

So, possibly a first round pick, and a good bet to make a roster. Sometimes better to be a G league 2 way contract, get gaudy stats.

Man. Preston is good, but I just haven’t seen “nba.” Maybe he is that good, and certainly was in the MAC, but I couldn’t tell if NBA quickness or strength is there. His decision making was a little crazy at times too.
It did get old listening to the tv guys on the Mac tourney talk about Preston and only Preston the entire game. It was like it was 1 on 5 out there. Let’s hear about his backstory one more time!

Same reaction here...would not be surprised for him to just be one more guy who almost makes it, can have a good career overseas. Good call on quickness, he may be exposed when his size at PG doesn't make up for it in the NBA. He can shoot though.

You are probably both right and Preston will be lucky to be a second round pick and instead will end-up overseas. Some of these guys do seem to fly-up the draft boards. I thought the Bulls made a reach pick last year with Williams at 4th overall.

I'll make one more comment on this. You would think someone is advising Preston on this decision. Either that person or persons honestly think Preston can get drafted, or they are giving him really bad advice. It may well be the latter. I don't have a good feel for what salaries overseas leagues pay. I can't help but think they aren't that lucrative.
Now I have another reason to watch the NBA draft on July 29th!

Based on that, Turkey looks like the place you want to play. Living in Europe on $2,000 per month (lower European Leagues) would be a stretch. Thanks for the information.

Preston was taken with the 33rd pick, 5 picks before the Chicago Bulls had a chance to draft him. Only missing being a first round pick by 3 picks is pretty good. Whoever was advising Preston must have known something after all.

What CBS Sports had to say about Preston:
Jason Preston PG, OHIO Height: 6-4, Weight: 181
Very interesting developmental pick for the Clippers, who got this pick in a draft-night trade. Preston's skinny and needs to pack on muscle and while he has some holes in his game to iron out, he is one of the most electric passers in the draft with a very good feel from the point guard position. (Kyle Boone)

Guess NBA scouts think Preston has a real chance to play.
