Rafael Hetsheimmer (2,07 PF-C) suffered a sprain in his left ankle and won´t be able to play in the PanAmerican Games. Brazilian Head Coach Lula Ferreira called Paulo "Paulão" Prestes (2,10 C) to replace him. Paulão helped the brazilian team in the U-19 World Championship that ended yesterday. Brazil finished the tournament in the 4th position. His stats in the U-19 WC: 23PPG(TOURNAMENT BEST) 14.7RBS (TOURNAMENT BEST) 1,2 ASSISTS 1BLOCK

Prestes was a beast in the U19 WC, he's destined to great things. He definitely already has a spot in the senior team.
