Ruben Prey has been one of the figures of the National Team at the European Under-20 Championship, where Portugal - for the first time in Division A - has already achieved the feat of beating the two-time champion Israel, as well as balancing several games with powers of the modality. The young winger / center, just 17 years old, has been one of the figures, the team and the competition, and has now received more praise, in the case of a FIBA analyst.
In an article on the website of the European basketball governing body, Marius Flachenecker highlighted the versatility of the Joventut Badalona athlete at an offensive level. "Shows impressive fluidity to penetrate even though he's 2.08 meters. Attacks tall players who are slower in face-to-face or perimeter duels, as well as closeouts. He finishes well with both hands," wrote the 'scout', addressing then defensive qualities: "He's better at helping close to the basket. Strong in rotations, causes changes in short-range shots."
To close, a prediction: "He is considered one of the main youngsters in the competition and it is easy to see why. Despite his youth, he combines offensive versatility with height and fluidity. Even though he is already good enough to face the elite in a European Under -20, he still has a lot to improve, which means his potential is incredibly high. With his talent, he could lead Portugal's senior team for the next 15 years, building a dangerous indoor game with Neemias Queta. Prey He also has a chance to make it to the NBA, if he continues to work, evolve even more and have the necessary luck."
Prey returns to the floor today in Podgorica (Montenegro), where the European Championship is being played, with Portugal facing Germany in the fight for 9th place.
