In **2025-26**, Anderson averaged **18.5 PPG, 7.4 APG**, and **3.6 RPG** in 33 GP for the Red Raiders. Since **1947-48**, the only other **two** NCAA Division I men's basketball players who averaged at least **18** PPG, **7** APG, and **3.5** RPG in their **sophomore** season were: 1\. Ja Morant (2018-19) - **24.5 PPG, 10.0 APG**, 5.7 RPG 2\. Michael Anderson *no relation* (1985-86) - 18.8 PPG, 7.3 APG, **6.5 RPG** Let's tack on these baselines as well: **1.5+ SPG** (C. Anderson **1.5**), and **3.0+ 3P/G** (C. Anderson **3.3**). The other **five** players to meet these plus the criteria above in a **single** season: **Seniors** 1\. Charles Jones (1997-98) - **29.0 PPG**, 7.4 APG, **5.2 RPG, 2.9 SPG, 3.9 3P/G** 2\. Damon Stoudamire (1994-95) - 22.8 PPG, 7.3 APG, 4.3 RPG, 1.7 SPG, **3.7 3P/G** **Juniors** 3\.

Trae Young (2017-18) - **27.4 PPG, 8.7 APG**, 3.9 RPG, 1.7 SPG, **3.7 3P/G** Christian **Anderson** is the **only sophomore** since1947-48to reach that set of **per game** marks. Stoudamire **(46.5)**, the **7th** overall pick in the 1995 NBA Draft, Anderson (41.5), and Lowery (40.1) were the only **three** to shoot over **40%** from **3**. Anderson (260) had slightly more 3PA than Lowery (257) and Stoudamire (241). For fun, another **sophomore** observation to chew on, focusing solely on offense: The **only** other sophomore, since **1947-48**, to average **2.9+** 2P/G, **3.3+** 3P/G, **2.9+** FT/G and **6+** APG besides **Anderson**: **Jay Williams** (2000-01) - 3.9 2P/G, 3.4 3P/G, 3.6 FT/G, 6.1 APG in 39 GP **Williams* and *Morant* are the focus of* [*Note #025*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-025-elijah-crawford-next-villanova-wildcat-weapon/) *on Villanova's Elijah Crawford. *Ja* can also be located in* [*Note #021*](https://www.lemmonlabs.io/note-021-robert-wright-iii-dynamic-sophomore-guard-genes/) *on BYU's Robert Wright III.* --- 🏀 Christian Anderson shot ****55.8%** from ****2** (96/172) and the aforementioned ****41.5%** from ****3** (108/260) in ****2025-26** (47.2% overall).
