See this is where I think the Christie stuff is swinging too far in the other direction. This is legit the first time in his career where he's scored 15 or more in a game 7 times in a row. This is his 3rd year.
He's 21. So he's still very young and could grow into a great player, so don't take this as me writing him off. I actually have loved what I've seen when he's played. He's a good player. He would've been a great trade target for a dude like Gafford+Grimes+FRP. Not as a tack on for Luka freaking Doncic.
And that's not hate for Christie. There's levels to this. I just need to see more, for a while, to believe that he can be anything more than a solid role player. And expecting him as a future "elite" guy at his role is copium.
