Prior to hearing his name called at No. 46 in the 2024 NBA Draft, Cam Christie acknowledged that, though he interviewed with the L.A. Clippers, the opportunity to workout for those in blue-and-red never came about. Roughly five minutes into his arrival to the professional stage, the smooth-shooting newcomer capitalized on opportunities to, perhaps, make up for lost time. Presenting himself as a bright spot in Los Angeles’ otherwise lost game, Christie keeps his antennas raised on Donte DiVincenzo’s tight-window pocket pass, turning the failed connection into a steal and one-man fastbreak chance. Ultimately speedy enough to evade Nickeil Alexander-Walker’s spirited chase, Christie elevates into a two-handed flush, authoritatively entering himself into the league’s historic scoring column for the first time on December 4, 2024. With his brother generating similar buckets for the NBA’s famed purple-and-gold just a half-hour away, Christie kept family tradition going against the Minnesota Timberwolves, tallying five points, three rebounds, two steals, and a 3-pointer in his Association debut. · Dec 5, 2024
