He’s good in the post and very good on a pick and roll with a lob and also he might be able to get that shot down with a little bit of work and be developed. He’s defense feels like he has a chance to be a good defender and is good in the post he jus needs to work pn rim protection.

Comparison: nic Claxton

Chris Cenac Jr is a great pf he is a great rebounder. He grabs boards on both ends finishes inside efficient and has some shooting touch but needs to add strength and consistency. Could be a mid first round pick in the 2026 NBA Draft as a rebounding big with solid upside.

Huge physical 5 man that is young with raw talent. Elite on the glass and has a great frame. has a solid 3 ball and can put the ball on the deck. Upside 1st round play but think he should stay in college another year with more offensive opportunity.
