The Christie brothers are making history in the NBA as Cam Christie was picked by the Los Angeles Clippers as the 46th pick in the NBA Draft. This follows his older brother, Max Christie, being drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers two years ago with the 35th pick in the 2022 draft. Cam is thrilled about becoming an NBA brother with Max and looks forward to competing against him on the court.
The family connection between Cam and Max brings an added level of excitement to the NBA landscape. They join a list of siblings currently playing together in the league, including Cody and Jalen Williams, Lonzo and LaMelo Ball, and Jrue, Justin, and Aaron Holiday. The rivalry between these families will surely add to the drama in future games.
Despite being projected as a late first-round pick, Cam fell to the second round due to inconsistencies during his season at Minnesota Gophers. However, his shooting ability and potential as a perimeter shooter make him a valuable asset for the Clippers. The team is confident that he has room to develop and grow in the league. Last season for Minnesota Gophers, Cam averaged 11.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game.
As brothers compete against each other on different teams it will be interesting to see who comes out on top but it’s also exciting for fans to witness such a unique family dynamic play out on court.
In conclusion, with their familial twist on this year’s NBA Draft selection process ,the Christie brothers are sure to bring excitement and competition to any team they play for .
