If Cam Christie walks across the stage to shake the NBA commissioner's hand after being selected in this week's draft, that would be a big moment for the Gophers men's basketball program.
The Gophers guard could be the program's first player drafted after his freshman season and also the first picked in the first round of the NBA draft since former Hopkins star Kris Humphries in 2004.
Christie, a 6-6 Illinois native, is projected as a late first-rounder or early second-rounder in the 2024 NBA draft scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday in New York.
