LOS ANGELES — Just over a week ago, Max Christie was coming off the bench in the G League, scoring 18 points for the South Bay Lakers.
The week Christie has had would be a lot for any 19-year-old to take in, playing games on three consecutive days from his South Bay debut to back-to-back nights for the Lakers, culminating in a career-high 29 minutes in an NBA game . For the moment, it seems the Lakers are comfortable installing their 35th overall draft pick out of Michigan State in the playing rotation, needing his 6-foot-6 size and defensive intensity.
Some of this is necessity: The Lakers need wing depth badly, and Christie has given them a good mix of earnest defensive effort and credible 3-point shooting . Coach Darvin Ham gave Christie the assignment to deny Jordan Clarkson and Kevin Huerter in the past week, simply putting himself between them and the ball.
The Lakers drafted Christie as an offensive project: They liked the look of his shooting stroke, but in his one college season, he was just hitting 31.7% from deep. In that respect, Christie might be ahead of schedule. He’s often seen after practice shooting with Matt Ryan, the team’s resident 3-point specialist, and he’s proud of how he’s shot in the few looks he’s gotten already.
