As expected for a few days, the Lakers have recovered a choice during the last draft, to select the young Max Christie. It is not to the taste of this famous polemicist, who paid for LeBron James and Russell Westbrook in stride. A statement that does not pass, and a young player who will be keen to make him lie at the start of the school year.
You don’t have to wait for the free agent market to open to see the Lakers take action. The franchise first made a place for itself in the draft, where it could choose a young player, then she signed two other people for the future. This last move will delight some fans, while the front office hopes to have found players to fill the roster next year. Indeed, many veterans will leave, which means that Rob Pelinka must innovate for the future.
The Lakers’ new promising player!
The choice to join the draft? He is not there by chance. Austin Reaves proved it last season, but even an undrafted player can shine in this league. The front office therefore hopes to have made the right choice with Max Christie, who was chosen in the second round by the Angelinos. A fairly interesting youngster, but who will necessarily have to develop in the coming months to really help his team.

This decision is also very pleasing to Draymond Green, who sees very far for the new prospect of the Lakers. A beautiful mark of confidence, not shared by Skip Bayless. On Twitter, the polemicist made fun of Christie’s selection, comparing him to LeBron James and Russell Westbrook, because of his weak three-point shot. Needless to say, not everyone is a fan of this statement, especially for a youngster.
Lakers acquire a 2nd-round pick, take Michigan State’s Max Christie, who shot only 32% from 3 last season. Perfect! He’ll fit right in with LeBron and Westbrick.

The Lakers picked up a second-round pick, selecting Michigan State player Max Christie, who is shooting 32% from three points the past three seasons. It’s perfect ! He will fit perfectly with LeBron and Westbrick.
A nasty tackle for Westbrook, not known to be the most skilful at three points. Let’s hope it’s different anyway for Christie, who will be keen to succeed for his early career in Los Angeles.
Max Christie does not please Skip Bayless, the player being not very skilful behind the line. A fairly severe tackle for a young player, who will want to make the polemicist lie, who would have done better to keep quiet. The response on the floor promises to be scathing, at least we hope so for Christie and the supporters.
