Career

player

Prewitt began his studies at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona , in 1998 after graduating from Greenway High School in Phoenix, Arizona , where he played for the college team Sun Devils in the Pac-10 Conference of the NCAA . In the period up to 2002, the Sun Devils could not place themselves in the front field of this conference and also not qualify for a national final of the NCAA .

Prewitt began his professional career abroad and played in Cyprus in Division A for Omonia from the capital Nicosia . While you reached the final in the national cup competition, you could not place in the championship in the front field. Prewitt then returned to his home country and played in the CBA for the Dakota Wizards, who won the championship at the end of the 2004 season. After another season with the Wizards, who were eliminated as defending champion in the play-off semi- final series against the eventual champions Sioux Falls Skyforce , Prewitt moved back to Europe as a CBA All-Star .

From 2005 on, Prewitt played two seasons for the Dragons from the Artland community in the German basketball league . After they were eliminated in the first play-off round in 2006 , they just reached the play-offs in the 2006/07 basketball Bundesliga as eighth of the main round. In the 2007 cup final, they were almost defeated by last year's champions RheinEnergie Köln . In the championship play-offs, they surprisingly beat Alba Berlin , who won the main round, and moved into the final series, which, however, was lost to the Brose Baskets from Bamberg , which was coached by the then national coach Dirk Bauermann .

Prewitt completed the preparation for the 2007/08 season at the Greek first division promoted AGO Rethymnou , before he was committed as a substitute for an injured colleague from the German first division club from Ludwigsburg for two months at the beginning of the season . At the turn of the year, the Dragons signed him again. While they won the cup final against their former club from Ludwigsburg and brought their first national title to Artland, the play-offs in 2008 were the opposite of the previous year. As runner-up in the main round, they were surprisingly eliminated in the first round against Telekom Baskets Bonn . After the departure of coach Chris Fleming they failed in the following two seasons under the new coach Thorsten Leibenath in each case just reaching the play-offs for the championship.

At the beginning of October 2010 Prewitt was signed by FC Bayern Munich from the ProA . After the signing of national coach Bauermann, he had already signed several German national players and other seasoned first division professionals of foreign origin and, as a big favorite, won the championship in the ProA 2010/11 and promotion to the top division. In the following season Prewitt was signed by the LTi Gießen 46ers . The 2012/13 season Prewitt played at the MIA Academy in Tbilisi, Georgia, and won the trophy and the Georgian championship with his team.

For the 2015/2016 season he moves back to Quakenbrück for TSV Quakenbrück in the regional league.
