Summary
Two NBA rookies drafted 14th and 18th overall in the 2026 NBA Draft—Christian Anderson Jr. and Hannes Steinbach—made surprise appearances at Charlotte Knights’ home games, with Anderson Jr. even throwing out the first pitch. The Hornets, aiming to rebound after a ninth-place finish last season, are counting on these young stars to make an impact: Steinbach could start at center, while Anderson Jr. will back up Coby White and Dennis Schroder at point guard. Fans got a front-row seat as the duo signed autographs and connected with the community—proof that even minor-league baseball can be a launchpad for major-league dreams.
