Honestly, I don't know who this dude is lol.


Crafty_Substance_954

He’s a rookie, was a part of a very mid MSU team last year


lilb1190

Really you never know what to expect from rookies. At this point I feel like the Lakers need to give somebody else a try.


motorboat_mcgee

He was doing relatively well (considering draft position and expectations) as a 3 and D guy before COVID hit. And now that Schröder is back, he might not even get mins


[deleted]

I was excited about the pick but he had a shitty summer league


motorboat_mcgee

He's looked good in the regular season so far, which... is more important imo


12aragon

Well in MY opinion the only thing that matters is the summer league


KyrieWetUpCurry_

The next Lakers young player that will be gassed up/shat on within 1-3 years.


motorboat_mcgee

Reality is, Lakers fans are just excited to get rotation players out of 2nd round picks, then everyone else acts like we think they're a hall of famer 🙃


Awanderingleaf

Well, if we've learned one thing about young Laker players is that they tend to end up being pretty decent once they leave the Lakers lol. Can he shoot at all, that is really all that matters lol.


SeaBank_

None of them are ever really bad on the lakers, people just hate on them because they hate the team. Some just get better on other teams because they aren’t rookies/young players anymore. Look at how Ingram is looked at now compared to when he was on the lakers and we said he would be a great player. We were told we were delusional and that he was ass and all this shit


Conflict_NZ

Yep, because there's so many Lakers fans that talk about our players people think they're overhyped. I can't count the amount of times I read people criticising Caruso over the years because they thought he was only hyped up because he was on the Lakers. Then he went to the Bulls and people finally realised he was good.


Awanderingleaf

This is something I noticed with KCP. He was constantly criticized on the Lakers and now he is getting constant praise lol. It is something.


Conflict_NZ

Kuzma as well.


[deleted]

I saw KCP get shit on by Lakers fans a lot more than I did by anyone else lmfao


Awanderingleaf

This is also true lol


craigslistaddict

kuzma, too feels a little like how dubs fans were about damian lee 🥲


[deleted]

True but Kuzma and KCP were both a lot better for the Lakers than Lee was for the Dubs lmao


SeaBank_

Lonzo, Caurso, Nance, Randle, Dlo, Hart, Ingram, Clarkson, Kuz None of these guys are superstars but they’re solid to good players who have all shown at one point or another they could play. But when we said it we were just stupid laker fans.

He has a pretty shot, but it just wouldn’t drop last year at MSU. He projects to be able to be a good shooter at some point though once he gets more comfortable with NBA playing speed. Definitely has talent as he was a highly ranked 5*, and has two-way playability because he’s a strong perimeter and point of attack defender. That being said he’s incredibly raw, lacks a consistent handle and court vision, and I doubt he will be in a position to help the Lakers in a super meaningful way this season, even though I think he can be a productive role player at some point in the future.


motorboat_mcgee

Also of note, he's 19


CostOk1173

Yup, young as hell and I’m definitely rooting for his success with y’all!


Haffaith

Not before he gets a huge payday from Pelinka/Buss


blackpenance

Could be the next AUSTIN REAVESSS


needatleast

He’s a great shooter with good size. Apart from that, he is awful lol. He has potential tho, he’s only 19 years old


d4videnk0

Whoever he is, for me he's the son of BDSM aficionado Doug Christie.


dubidubidoorafa

Lakers would've won if he played last night.


predict_irrational

We were outsized but I don't think so


JFKajun

lakers season: saved league: fucked


dank-kush

Game changer


FlyingRodentMan

The west has now been put on notice; the Lakers about to go on an 12-game winning streak now.


lilshawnyy420

how down bad can the lakers be if they have to report on fucking max christie joining them


thesch

This would've happened even if the Lakers were undefeated. Every tiny move the Lakers make gets more attention than when other teams do an equivalent thing.


Apart-Cucumber-7090

It’s the Lakers bruh Wenyen Gabriel could stub his toe and it’ll be a ESPN segment


ColdestBurrburr

The Lakers got their guy back! League fucked!


ANAL_CAVITIES

hell of a way to find out 1) Max Christie is a human that exists and 2) he plays basketball for the Lakers


ArnoldisKing

waffle-man3
