""His production is going to fluctuate throughout the season based on Houston's depth and the freshman's role. But his tools and skill set will continue to stand out, with Cenac showing clear three-point range, rebounding instincts and athleticism for finishing at the rim. "Assuming he continues to build on his shooting over the next few years, his archetype seems very translatable to a supporting role, being a 6'11" big who can stretch the floor and provide easy buckets and interior activity.""
""The Miami Heat benefit here from Darius Acuff sliding out of the lottery, in no small part due to the extraordinary point guard depth in this class. Acuff has answered every reasonable question that could have been asked about his proficiency as a shooter and as a playmaker. He still has work to do on the defensive end, but he has the athletic tools to be honed into a solid player on that end of the floor under Erik Spoelstra and the rest of the Heat's coaching staff.""
Selection Sunday is approaching and the 2026 NCAA Tournament follows soon after. Miami possesses one mid-first-round pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. Early evaluations link that pick to prospects who offer shooting, playmaking, and positional versatility. Burries is noted for perimeter shooting, positional flexibility, and cultural fit with Miami. Cenac projects as a 6'11" floor-stretching big with three-point range, rebounding instincts, and rim athleticism despite potential production variability. Acuff offers proven shooting and playmaking, requires defensive refinement, and carries athletic tools that coaching can develop into reliable two-way production.
