Summary
The Celtics just pulled off a seismic trade, shipping star Jaylen Brown to the Sixers and instantly reshaping the playoff landscape — but their new No. 27 pick, 19-year-old center Chris Cenac Jr., might be the quiet gem they’re banking on to rebuild. Standing 6’11”, Cenac flashed defensive potential with 2.8 blocks and solid rebounding in summer league, averaging 10.5 points and 8.0 rebounds. While his offense needs work, his work ethic and coachability stand out — he’s always early, always improving. The real test? Turning raw talent into NBA-ready consistency amid a grueling schedule. The ceiling? High. The timeline? Long. But with the right grind, Cenac could be the anchor Boston needs. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
