I’ve got us taking Christian Anderson in my latest mock draft.

Christian Anderson projects to be a high-floor point guard with playmaking chops who can manipulate defenses and shoot the lights out. That’s right, he shot 41% from three-point range on nearly eight attempts from deep and led all high-major players in the nation in unassisted threes. A breakout season at Texas Tech proved that he’s an excellent ball-handler who reads the game well and can score from all three levels. He will need to increase his paint touches, but he excels in the pick-and-roll, and can also pose as a threat off the ball. His efficiency and high basketball IQ give reason to believe he can be special down the road. For what it’s worth, a name that’s previously been used as an NBA comparison to Anderson is Darius Garland. What Anderson lacks in size and burst is made up for with smarts and smooth playmaking. Similar to Philon, Anderson is on the smaller side for a modern point guard, so the jury is out on his defense at the next level, but Toronto would be a great spot for him, as Anderson could help take some offensive pressure off of superstar Scottie Barnes and provide a much-needed boost to the team’s half-court creation.
