Professional career

After passing through the KK Zadar youth squads, Prostran made his debut for the senior team in December 2007. Not satisfied with the opportunities he got at Zadar, he moved to KK Zagreb, in January 2010. Expecting to move his career to another level, Prostran was disappointed at his new club, and he choose to break up his contract, and move back to KK Zadar, in the summer of 2012. After a more successful 2012–13 season, in the summer of 2013, he renewed his contract with KK Zadar.

He averaged 16.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game, and he was selected to the eurobasket.com website's All Swedish league first team, and was also named the league's best Bosman player of the year by eurobasket.com. In the summer of 2015, he moved to another Swedish club, LF Basket Norrbotten. He averaged 15.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 7.7 assists per game, and he was once again named by the website eurobasket.com, to the All Swedish League first team, and as the league's best Bosman player of the year.
