​While there is plenty for both of the Boston Celtics picks from the 2026 NBA Draft to work on this summer, what we have seen so far from the Boston Celtics’ No. 26 pick of the 2026 NBA Draft, big man Chris Cenac Jr., and their No. 40 overall pick, forward Dillon Mitchell, has been impressive. And it has not been missed by Sin City Celtics head coach Amile Jefferson, who had plenty to say about how both have been settling into pro life with Boston – even if it has started out in Nevada.”Chris is really impressive, especially with his size,” said the Celtics assistant of Cenac. “He has super big hands. He’s really mobile, he can move. It’s been really good.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”Just in this last week, see the growth, see how the coaching has impacted him, getting him to play really hard, screening, making points … and then just being a connector for our team,” said Jefferson.Mar 5, 2025; Boston, Massachusetts, USA; Wilson NBA game balls are seen on the court before the game between the Boston Celtics and the Portland Trail Blazers at TD Garden.

Just to be himself, bring high energy to the gym, and then be a defensive playmaker to make plays for us.”Listen to “Havlicek Stole the Pod” on:AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBlue Wire: https://tiny.ee/CdKpiTunes: https://tiny.ee/RK47YouTube: https://tiny.ee/cOW3This article originally appeared on Celtics Wire: Amile Jefferson on Boston Celtics rookies Chris Cenac Jr., Dillon Mitchell in summer league
