C.J. Pigford brings veteran frontcourt grit to Charlotte
In the 2025-26 season, Charlotte forward C.J. Pigford has been a low-usage, steady rotation piece, averaging 3.5 points, 2.4 rebounds and 12.3 minutes per game while shooting 43.0% from the field, which points to a role built on energy and efficiency rather than volume.[1][3] At 6-7 and 230 pounds, his profile suggests a physical, experienced forward who can give you toughness, board work and functional spacing from the frontcourt; he’s not a flashy stat-stuffer, but he does look like the kind of glue guy coaches trust when the game gets messy.[4][8]
