C · Houston · 2026 NBA Draft
Chris Cenac Jr. has been selected in 15 community mock drafts, picked between #12 and #25 (average #21.5).
It doesn't matter what direction the Lakers want to go in with Lebron, Luka, & Reaves. They need a big. Cenac is a tweener between the 4 & 5, as he's capable to develop a versatile playstyle in order to become the big man that the Lakers have been looking for throughout the last half-decade, and with Luka as his playmaker, I think Cenac flourishes off the rip, similarly to what happened with Derick Lively. As of now, Cenac offers the ideal frame (6'10, 240 lbs, 7'5 wingspan) to become a fierce lob threat, and to go along with this, is the ability to utilize this frame as a solid defender in the league. The thing is that his overall game is unpolished and needs heavy development to be consistently productive as a long-term player.
