Overview
- The Celtics have signed No. 27 pick Chris Cenac to a standard four-year rookie contract and announced he will join the team for the Las Vegas Summer League.
- Cenac is a 6-foot-11 forward with a 7-foot-5 wingspan who projects as a 'stretch-5' because of his perimeter shooting potential.
- He averaged 9.5 points and 7.9 rebounds in one season at Houston and shot 33.3% from three, but his limited college role and low shot volume leave clear development questions.
- Cenac said he had limited pre-draft contact with Boston and did not work out for the team, so his selection is seen as an opportunistic, upside-focused pick rather than a fully vetted choice.
- His immediate minutes are uncertain given Boston’s current frontcourt depth, so Summer League performance and a patient multi-year development plan will determine whether he can earn rotation minutes.
