What happened: The Golden State Warriors are hosting Michigan center Morez Johnson Jr. and Houston forward Chris Cenac Jr. for pre-draft workouts on Monday. These evaluations are part of a critical scouting phase as the team prepares for the 2026 NBA Draft scheduled for later this month.

Why it matters: Holding the No. 11 overall pick, Golden State is seeking versatile frontcourt talent to complement its veteran roster. Morez Johnson Jr. is coming off a National Championship with Michigan where he displayed elite defensive mobility, while Cenac offers rare transition speed and perimeter upside for a 6'11" big.

By the numbers: Morez Johnson Jr. (Michigan): 13.2 PPG, 7.3 RPG, 1.1 BPG, 36.4% 3PT. Chris Cenac Jr. (Houston): 9.5 PPG, 7.9 RPG, 48.5% FG. Warriors 2026 Draft: No. 11, No.

What to watch: The Warriors expect to host additional lottery-level prospects for workouts later this week before the draft on June 23.
