Michigan State freshman shooting guard Max Christie is entering his name into the 2022 NBA Draft process, according to an Instagram post from Christie. He will retain his college eligibility, leaving the door open for a return to East Lansing for his sophomore season.
Granted, it is an interesting day to reveal this news (April Fools’ Day), but Christie, a player who has NBA potential and aspirations, would be wise to enter the process and get feedback from NBA scouts and decision-makers on where he currently stands. If he does decide to return to Michigan State, he would know exactly what aspects of his game and development he needs to focus on to eventually make it at the professional level.
