High-motor Houston center with size, touch, and a limited-but-efficient role
In the 2025-26 season, Cedric Lath was a low-usage Houston big who appeared in 21 games and averaged 0.5 points, 0.7 rebounds, and 66.7% shooting, but his appeal is the frame: 6-foot-10, 265 pounds, born in Abidjan, and built for physical frontcourt work.[2][1] He’s a classic “does the dirty work” center—big body, energy, and interior size—rather than a volume scorer, so he fits best as a rim-pressure, rebound-and-defend piece on a roster that values toughness and depth.[9][15]
