Max Christie is finding his footing at the right time. One small step for Christie. One giant step for the Dallas Mavericks. His Swiss Army knife skillset has made him the Mavericks' jack of all trades on the court. And Coach Jason Kidd couldn’t be happier. Kidd said earlier in the season that he wanted to see more aggression from Christie, and the young stalwart has answered the call.
Christie has already carved a reputation as a talented defender. He's the modern 3-and-D player prototype.
So, Kidd bestowing more offensive responsibility on the 22-year-old seems like a natural progression in his career timeline.
