Michigan State freshman shooting guard Max Christie has made it to the NBA. Christie was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of 2022 NBA Draft at No. 35 overall.
Christie, listed at 6-foot-6 and 190 pounds, is the first Spartan to hear his name called during the 2022 NBA Draft. In early April, Christie announced he would be entering the draft process, but retaining his eligibility. Shortly after receiving an invite to the NBA Combine, though, Christie elected to hire an agent and forgo his remaining college eligibility.
