Gophers men’s basketball guard Cam Christie announced on social media Friday his intention to enter the NBA draft process.
“It has always been a dream of mine to make it to the NBA,” Christie said in a post on X Friday. “I am grateful for this opportunity, and to receive feedback from the NBA on my game.”
The Arlington Heights, Illinois native said he will maintain his college eligibility as he goes through the NBA draft process.
Christie finished his first season of college basketball ranking second on the Gophers in points per game (11.3) and 3-pointers (70). The first-year guard’s performance for the Gophers earned him a spot on the All-Big Ten freshman team.
Christie’s decision to enter the NBA draft process mirrors that of his brother Max Christie, who played one season of college basketball at Michigan State before being drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers.
The first round of the NBA draft will take place on June 26 at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, New York and the second round will take place on June 27 at ESPN’s Seaport District Studios in New York.
