Role
Christie is Dallas's projected starting shooting guard, slotted next to Kyrie Irving in the 2026-27 lineup. His three-and-D profile fits neatly beside Irving and Flagg: defend the tougher backcourt assignment and knock down open threes. His development is one of the quiet keys to Dallas's season.
How he got here
The Los Angeles Lakers drafted Christie 35th overall in 2022 out of Michigan State. He is now a Maverick and a projected starter for 2026-27.
