Too bad Pippen is not 3" taller. He is talented, but just lacks size. It's kind of hard when you're 6' tall, weighing ~170 lbs. Christie has talent, size, and confidence in his shot. He'll be an NBA player for sure. When can we trade him?
yeah, i'm still not a pippen believer. for whatever reason, small guards can kill in the g league and struggle at the next level. i think mcclung got like 46 last month. christie can do everything he did in those clips against nba talent, imo. a lot of pippen's drives would end in TOs or eaten leather.
Took way too long for this kid to get some run again. Team has been screaming for some size, defense, 3 point shooting. Nice to see him play over Nunn and give us some solid minutes.
Really no excuse to play 3 or even 2 midgets together now: Christie at least doesn't look he'll s*** the bed and his defense is surprisingly solid. Between him Brown, Reaves, and Lonnie you can get 20-30 mpg each from them.
3 ball looks night and day from summer league Earned CO-game ball honors with Bryant according to Bron.
Those back to back threes were huge! Really felt like that’s what swung the game open. Great defense and hustle on some boards as well! With games like that, he definitely deserves the opportunity to crack the rotation
the results are different, but imo, his shot has always looked pretty good. glad it's finally falling. as others have said, he can start eating minutes from some of the tinies.
i love his rebounding. he missed a putback (got a little excited i think), but he's always around that ball on the boards. every team needs that, but especially an undersized team.
Kid continues to get in there and make things happen. Couple 3s. Big skying block. Nice box out board. 24 minutes and looked like he belonged for most of them.
Another very solid game. Not only do we have a legit need for someone of his size to produce the way he’s been producing, but with our playoff chances looking bleak with AD out we should shift towards prioritizing things like Christie’s development.
He’s continuing to add muscle … look at his arms, at the age of 19 while in the middle of his first physical NBA season. Looks like he’s really going to be better than good on defense, being that he’s most of the time good already again at just 19 yrs old. And oh heck yeah that 3 ball is looking noice! :THT Heart Hands:
Talk about thrown to the wolves: primary assignment against Beal? Probably due to the injuries and Beal got him but I'll take it. They need to move these small guys especially Bevs and Nunn out of the way to get minutes for these young wings.
