Celtics Rookies Chris Cenac Jr. and Dillon Mitchell Shine in Vegas Debut

Boston Celtics fans are analyzing the early impact of the team’s 2026 draft class following a strong showing at the NBA 2K25 Summer League in Las Vegas. President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens added two prospects to the roster—Chris Cenac Jr. with the 27th overall pick in the first round and Dillon Mitchell out of St. John’s in the second round. Both players reportedly performed well during the event, generating discussion regarding their potential roles with the franchise.

The summer performance of the duo has been highlighted by regional media, including Comcast Corporation’s NBC Sports Boston. The network’s “Celtics Talk” podcast recently broke down the film from Las Vegas to assess how much hype the rookies have rightfully earned.
