In his last season at the NCAA level, Cenac put up 9.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, and just under a steal per game while shooting 48.5 percent from the floor overall, 33.3 percent from beyond the arc, and a concerning 62.1 percent from the free throw line.

There are also rumbles of additional teams being interested in that star Boston forward.
