That's my opinion of him as well. He's bricking a lot right now, so he has a way to go to improve. But he knows how to get open. And I'm enjoying his sneaky handles. He rebounds well, and love the way he maneuvers around screens on defense and always contests.



"Once he starts hitting his shot..." - I know we say this about a lot of guys. My ceiling for him offensively is a taller CJ Mac. So not really CJ Mac, cuz a taller CJ Mac would be so good hahaha. My floor is Michael Carter-Williams, the Chicago Bulls version

He's raw. Probably won't contribute much, if anything this year. He has some upside though. He is going to need to improve his shot and his finishing, but he's athletic and can play defense.

lol Don't hold your breath. There will be those who see the negatives in a young players game, and think that's all they'll ever be. Went through this same thing with B.I.. And, in some ways, that's who Christie most reminds me of...just shorter.

Both were touted to be shooters, but struggled as rookie's. Both were high IQ players, who exhibited flashes of having an all-around game. Bit of passing, bit of shooting, bit of handling, bit of defense, etc.. Took a few years...bumpy ones...before B.I. really broke out, in New Orleans. But, while a Laker, people argued that Kuz was the better player, and that B.I. was just a mid-tier player.

Curious to see which direction Christie goes. I'm rooting for him.

Sure. My specifics are the numbers that don't lie and the explanation is facts plus eye test. See link below for his stats in pre-season.

https://www.espn.com/nba/player/gamelog/_/id/4432582/max-christie

So those are my specifics (based on facts) and explanation.

Would you care to provide specifics/explanation for your assessment?

Is this your projection for this year or for his career?

I actually didn’t provide an assessment. Just thought your comment was interesting and wanted to see where you are coming from

We will end up needing his size. He's a legit 6'5, maybe even 6'6 in shoes. He has good length and defensive skills. He lacks strength and getting shots off quickly against NBA talent. I think by January, he may sneak into the rotation b/c we lack wing sized defenders.

It really speaks to the Laker’s current situation that there is this discussion about a 19 yr old second round pick becoming a much needed rotation player.

IMO a nice find. He has potential. Needs to spend a year or two working on his body and game. Not being forced into the lineup and thrown to the wolves against developed professionals. More importantly opened up to the scrutiny and criticisms when he gets his weaknesses exploited.

Lakers keep doing this and fans keep expecting something different. When you draft young underdeveloped players it takes patience. Laker fans have none.

This. He's likely at least 2 years away. The issue is not Christie or even the choice of Christie, the issue is how desperate the fan-base is.

By using the same reasoning, there might have been an an argument.

Judging a 19 yr old Ingram (all 190 lbs soaking wet of him) in his rookie pre-season would have been just as meaningful.

Players need to mature physically and mentally for the NBA. Some start more β€œready” then others. Some have a skillset that is one more one dimensional and can contribute earlier. Some have potential and need to mature.

Expectations are the curse. Christie has shown some solid fundamentals and potential. Expecting him to contribute significantly in the shadows of Laker greats current and historical is rarely going to work.

Christie is a nice player that should be one of the leaders of his Spartan team and gaining experience as a Sophomore. Not getting called a bust because he is not living up to unreasonable fan expectations in NBA pre-season.

When you draft a project, you have to let the project develop. If you want an instant impact player don’t draft a 19 yr old project. This applies to Ingram just as much as it does Christie.

This is why I don't trust everyone's eye-test, especially when it's tied to the idea of projection.

The secret is, all players are projects. Some are just more polished by age than others. That doesn't mean the other players can't get to NBA level skill sets either.

I doubt he gets minutes over Russ, Walker, Patty, Nunn, AR.

Imagine...basing your projection conjecture off a link to an ESPN gamelog from 6 preseason games, and 1 regular season game...without any kind of context. Because those games solidify the totality of Christies future, for you. Sorry, still holding my breath, guy.

Also, I don't think calling me "blueface" is the serve, you think it is. I'm not Ugly Sonic. I'm sonic the laker. I'm the handsome one...
