A lanky combo-forward with the versatility to impact the game inside and out. Ard is active on the offensive glass, creating second-chance opportunities, and has the confidence to knock down open threes when defenses sag off. Defensively, he can guard multiple positions, using his length to disrupt and recover. A valuable multi-tool piece who fits a variety of lineups.

Ard had a tremendous flurry in the second quarter, coming off the bench to provide 9 quick points to pair with 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. The long-armed forward scored on two putbacks, an And-1 in transition and a three-pointer. Christian’s combo-forward skill set should draw small school’s attention at the next level.

Christian Ard Christian Ard 6'5" | SF/PF Hillgrove | 2026 State GA caught a lot of eyes at the showcase with his smooth inside-out game and tireless energy. It was clear to those watching that Christian came into the camp in good shape because of the way he was able to run the floor and provide maximum effort on both ends. He blocked several shots around the rim and also rebounded the ball well. Ard’s combination of intangibles and upside makes him one to keep an eye on.

Listed at 6-foot-3, Ard is coming off of an AAU season where he ran with Team Soo Fresh on the grassroots circuit. He lived up to his travel team’s name in Cartersville – particularly on the defensive end of the floor. He came up with rejections and made it difficult for opponents to convert easy baskets in the interior. Ard also showcased a bit of dribbling skills to compliment his scoring capabilities – including a knack for fadeaway jumpers. He was previously listed on the eighth grade team and has his sights set on even bigger things with the Region 3-7A Hawks.
