Chris Cenac Jr. IMMEDIATE IMPACT? | Fixing Dillon Mitchell's Jump Shot

Boston Celtics fans are tempering expectations for rookie center Chris Cenac Jr. after an eye-catching summer league, but could he become a draft steal in the long run? John Karalis of Celtics On SI breaks down why immediate impact is unlikely for Cenac this season, citing his raw skill set, need for strength, and the established center rotation featuring Mitchell Robinson and Neemias Queta. Karalis draws cautionary comparisons to summer league standouts like Jajuan Johnson and Carson Edwards, emphasizing how tough the leap to NBA stardom can be. Key Celtics topics include the prospects for Dillon Mitchell’s jumper under Joe Mazzulla’s development staff, potential future roster moves, and the complexities of moving off Paul George’s contract. Insightful mailbag questions spark debates about Boston’s chances in an East full of challengers, with Karalis predicting the Celtics will remain a top-four contender—though a championship push might still be just out of reach.
