Chris Cenac Jr.

Draft Notes

A talented center with a strong frame and good length.

Is a very good athlete with awesome bounce and plays above the rim with ease.

Scores well in the post and can face up and operate in the mid range. Has a nice shooting form and good touch. Has some handles and can drive the ball and shows some play-making ability.

Doesn’t have ideal center size but has length and good strength and should be able to hold his own in the paint at the NBA level.

Has really good hands on defense.

Doesn’t block as many shots as you’d think but is a solid rebounder and a good positional defender.
