Hornets' Christian Anderson: Nets 18 points with eight dimes
Rotowire
Anderson recorded 18 points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Friday's 92-90 Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Kings.
Anderson struggled with his shot throughout Summer League, but he was still able to impact the game through his playmaking. He'll be battling Tre Mann for the backup minutes behind Coby White at training camp, so that's a position battle we'll be monitoring closely leading up to the 2026-27 season.

Hornets' Christian Anderson: Headed to Charlotte
Rotowire
Anderson was selected by the Hornets with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
While Anderson is a bit undersized at the guard position at 6-foot-2, he's a tremendous three-point shooter and has a polished offensive game. Anderson averaged 18.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 3.3 triples and 1.5 steals on 47/42/81 shooting splits during his sophomore season at Texas Tech, but he'll join a crowded backcourt in Charlotte, where he'll be competing for minutes with the likes of LaMelo Ball, Coby White and Kon Knueppel.
