The Lakers selected Christie with the 35th overall pick in the most recent NBA Draft. He was the storied organization’s sole pick of the cycle.
Christie, a one-and-done prospect and one of the top shooting guards in the nation, averaging 9.3 points and 3.5 rebounds in just over 30 minutes averaged on the court as a freshman.
