Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Cormac Karl "Max" Christie Jr. was born in February of 2003 in Arlington Heights, Illinois. The basketball genetics were passed down through his mother Katrina who played college basketball at Northwestern and finished her Wildcat career with over 1,000 points. Christie played basketball for Rolling Meadows High School in Rolling Meadows, Illinois where he was teammates with his younger brother Cameron. Max immediately made an impact as a freshman, averaging 20 points, nine rebounds, and four assists per game. He made a jump during his junior season, averaging 25 points and 11 rebounds per game, earning Pioneer Press Player of the Year honors. As a senior, Christie averaged 24.0 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 3.1 steals per game, leading his team to a 15-0 record, the Mid-Suburban league title and was selected as News-Gazette All-State Player of the Year. Christie was a consensus five-star recruit and ranked as the third-best shooting guard in the class of 2021 by ESPN. After receiving offers from Duke, Villanova and Ohio State, he committed to playing college basketball for Michigan State. As a freshman, he averaged 9.3 points and 3.5 rebounds per game and was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team. He decided to forego his sophomore year and declared for the draft on April 1, 2022. Christie ended up in Hollywood as the Lakers selected him in the second round with the 35th pick in the 2022 NBA draft.

Scores season-high 15 points
GLos Angeles Lakers
December 14, 2024
Christie recorded 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 97-87 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Christie started for the second straight game and responded to JJ Redick's trust by notching his best game of the season from a scoring perspective. It's still early in the season, and even though Christie will return to the bench once LeBron James (foot) is available to return, it's hard to overlook the uptick in his numbers. He's scored in double digits in five of his previous 10 appearances, averaging 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in that stretch while shooting 37 percent from beyond the arc.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
After dominating in the recent Summer League, Christie may very well have earned himself a consistent role in the Lakers rotation. He played just 12.5 minutes per night during his rookie campaign, averaging 3.1 points and 1.8 rebounds. However, he flashed his two-way upside in Las Vegas, putting up 19.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.8 steals, 1.6 blocks and 2.2 three-pointers in 31.8 minutes per game. He will be coming off the bench behind Austin Reaves but could very well find himself ahead of Cam Reddish in the rotation. While he isn't worth a roster spot in standard leagues, managers in deeper formats could consider him as a late-round flier, just in case he can build off his Summer League performance.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not expected to leave LA
GLos Angeles Lakers
December 18, 2024
The Lakers aren't expected to entertain trade proposals for Christie, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Lakers aren't interested in trading any of their key players, nor do they want to part ways with players who are considered long-term pieces. Christie has been starting in recent weeks and has done a good job on the defensive end of the floor, so the Lakers rate him highly as a long-term piece of the organization. As such, don't expect the Lakers to include the 21-year-old in any trade talks.
