Christie is a nice piece and he'd be playing a lot more under any other circumstances. The lefty jump hooks are legit by him. He's got a righty hook as well, and can carve out space on the glass.
No he isn't a rim protector nor can he step out and guard the perimeter but being that large gives you the ability to deter penetrators in this league. With further development, he'll be a load. Not just serviceable but load. Junior and Senior year Watch out for him.
I guess there’s a shortage of 7 footers with no athleticism. Last night, he had his shot blocked on an attempted layup - Christie’s feet never left the floor. He can be on the team next season without a scholarship or bye-bye. Our expectations need to be higher for this team in a horrible conference. I don’t want to waste any scholarship on the hopes of any kid being mediocre by his senior season.
