Texas Tech guard Christian Anderson will stay in the NBA Draft, his agent Aaron Mintz of CAA Basketball told ESPN.

Anderson is currently ranked as the projected No. 16 pick in the most recent ESPN mock draft.

"This is a dream I've worked toward my entire life, and the fact that it's now a real opportunity is something I don't take for granted," Anderson said. "I'm incredibly grateful for the chance to compete at the highest level in the world, and I'm ready to make the most of it."

The 6-foot-3 guard averaged 18.5 points and 7.4 assists last season.

Anderson was also the third best shooter across four shooting drills at the NBA draft combine and checked in with a 40.5-inch vertical leap.
