I know his offense has looked rough but I really love how disruptive he is defensively with deflections and such, and how he is really a good rebounder by position. Hopefully he eases into things offensively since I think he has a role to contribute.
I'm glad Reddish is playing well so we can stay patient with Max. |

| Max and Hayes both need to be permanent benched from the rotation. That is the next step that comes after Vando and Gabe return |

agree 100%
it took AR quite a while to move up from bench to starter, and Max is younger and didn't have 4 years of college
let's see how he's doing in 2-3 months

Age doesn't matter. A lot of 2nd round picks are young and don't make it. He isn't good yet

Indeed. It's also sillysauce to talk about him like every second round guys supposed to turn out to be Draymond Green and the Joker. That's usually not the case. Max has had some great moments and some really bad moments so time will tell how it shakes down. Hardly a major issue at this point.

He plays good defense with really good anticipation, though his frame is slight. He is a very willing rebounder and actually grabs contested rebounds (not just freebies). He also plays the right way and has a high bball IQ.
His offense is rough, after summer league and preseason I doubt he was expecting to shoot 1-10 from 3. It'll take time & reps for him to get the confidence for a Reaves-like breakout season, and again he does need to build out his frame.
But again, he's 20, I have no idea why you're so negative on him. No guarantees he becomes a great player but he's shown plenty given his age. If he just fills out and his 3 point shooting comes around, he's already a valuable 3&D guard. To say nothing of any on ball skills he flashed during summer league (which may or may not translate to the NBA level in a few years' time) |

JHS-Fudge-Max-Colin-Hayes as 3rd stringers are fine. All are projects

| Questionable decision making at times, but gives good effort. The shot looks terrible from what I've seen so far, but he is young and can improve. Disappointing level of play given the amount of hype. |

| I don't know, this is the level I expect 20yo second rounders to play, some good, some bad, some meh. I tend to appreciate what they do bring to the table - check out how much better he rebounds than our other guards and he brings consistent effort on defense. Then I tend to not be too hard on them for their (sometimes many) rough spots in the hope that with time and experience they will improve - in his case his decision making is awful, his shooting hasn't yet translated to the NBA and his lack of game-sense basically hinders him from any semblance of a diversified offensive game. |

Needs more time In gleague IMO.
I havent given up on him. He's only 20, able to get to his spots and create good looks, rebounds, and is able to defend.

I've taken some shiz on LG for saying that Cormac Karl "Max" Christie Jr. is not as great as many people think seem to think.
I have never understood how he became fanboy material. Of course, it's pretty common to overrate members of the home team, but the adulation this guy gets around here is like teenage girls crushing on Justin Bieber. The Kobe comparisons are nuts.
I really hope Cormac improves, but I don't see him as a starter or part of an 8 man rotation like some do. |

I’m surprised that he isn’t getting consistent minutes in the G League. You don’t give up on him, he needs another 2-3 years to develop. Then if he doesn’t ala THT, you move him. Most second round picks that show out are the Reaves variety, 23-24 yo guys who played 4-5 years in college. I remember I was a mess at 20 but outgrew it.

Something that's probably a bargain in 2-3 years if he develops the way you hope he does, and not much of a drag if he doesn't |
