Christian Anderson
Christian Anderson is the Texas Tech combo guard who shot 41.5% from three on real movement-shooting volume. Quick release, deep range, plus pick-and-roll feel, and a turnover rate that says he can play next to any lead guard. The cap is physical — 6'4" wingspan, average foot speed, defensive ceiling is what it is. For Detroit at #21 he'd be a shooting backup PG who can also slide into two-guard looks next to Cade. Floor fit, not a ceiling swing.
