Texas Tech guard Christian Anderson erupted for Germany at the FIBA U19 World Cup, leading his team to victory over Canada with an impressive stat line that showcased his all-around game.

Anderson scored 29 points, handed out six assists, and grabbed six rebounds in a standout performance that underscored his versatility and poise on the international stage.

Anderson’s explosive outing came just days after he tallied 14 points, five rebounds, and four assists in Germany’s dominant 90-66 win over China. The dual-nationality guard is averaging 10.5 points, 4.5 assists, and three rebounds per game as Germany remains undefeated in group play.

Standing at 6-foot-2 and already boasting All-Big 12 Freshman Team honors, Anderson’s ability to score and distribute fluidly has drawn praise from coaches and analysts worldwide. FIBA and Sports Illustrated both spotlighted his performance against China, noting his speed, court vision, and on-ball defense.

His breakout has become a major storyline for Germany’s U19 campaign, and Texas Tech fans should take special notice.

Beyond the box score, Anderson’s performance against Canada signals a broader development in his game that will translate directly to the Big 12 stage. His ability to control tempo, create separation off the dribble, and finish through contact against top international defenders highlights a level of maturity that goes beyond typical summer competition.

Anderson is building on a stellar freshman season in Lubbock, and this international showcase only strengthens his profile heading into Year 2. With Canada and other group opponents on deck, Anderson has the chance to further cement his status as one of the top young guards in the country.
