Despite suffering an injury right after being traded from Spokane to Vancouver, Preston has shown the ability to be a force of nature in transition as well as a high-end creator offensively. His scoring output hasn't been quite what you'd want from a top-end prospect, but that's come from a combination of environment and outright bad luck.

Preston has the tools of an elite scorer, and despite his size, he's stepped up in big moments, whether in overtime or in a clutch moment for his team. Preston's underlying numbers have been stellar, particularly in transition this season, and that's a role that can be very valuable at the next level. With a bit more luck, Preston could have been in the conversation for the top five.
