Chris Cenac Jr, Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics selected Chris Cenac Jr. with the 27th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. The pickup was widely considered to be a steal for Boston, as Cenac had previously been expected to come off the board in the late teens or early 20s.
Throughout Boston’s four games at Las Vegas Summer League, Cenac has stood out for his athleticism, multi-level scoring touch and shot blocking ability. As such, Celtics fans are excited about his potential and what his development will look like.
Cenac has also been playing with a point to prove.
