Boston Celtics Select Chris Cenac Jr. in NBA Draft: Strengthening Frontcourt Depth
The Boston Celtics have made their pick in the NBA draft, selecting Chris Cenac Jr., a talented forward from Houston. Standing at 6’11, Cenac had an impressive freshman season at Houston, averaging 9.5 points and 7.9 rebounds per game. Known for his rebounding skills and long wingspan of 7’5, Cenac is considered a promising frontcourt player in this draft class. He shot 48.5% from the field and 33.3% from three-point range last season.
With the addition of Cenac, the Celtics are looking to strengthen their frontcourt depth, joining players like Neemias Queta, Luka Garza, and Amari Williams. The team already has a solid roster with players like Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, and Payton Pritchard under contract for the upcoming season. However, there could be potential trades before the season begins.
Looking ahead, the Celtics also have the 40th overall pick in the draft, which they will use on night two of the NBA Draft. With a mix of established players and promising rookies, the Celtics are gearing up for an exciting season ahead.
