Christian Anderson Jr. on 2026 draft class: I’m the best shooter/pick-and-roll player

Charlotte Hornets 2026 No. 18 pick Christian Anderson Jr. isn’t worried about being doubted by critics in the NBA.

(via Charlotte Hornets):

“I’ve always been doubted and I’ve always been that so-called underdog, and I’ve always performed every single where I went. But they’re getting, in my opinion, the best shooter in the draft, the best pick-and-roll player in the draft, and just a guy who’s really, really determined to make anything happen and somebody who’ll lay all out for this organization to succeed and give my best effort 100% of the time. And yeah, I’m gonna keep getting better. Even if things aren’t going smooth, I’ll always be a person that this organization can count on and represent us in the best light every single moment.”
