Christie agreed Friday with the Clippers on a four-year, $7.9 million contract, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
The fourth year of the deal is a club option worth an estimated $2.49 million. The No. 46 overall pick in last month's 2024 NBA Draft, Christie won't turn 19 years old until later this month and is viewed as more of a long-term project from the Clippers rather than someone who's expected to be a major contributor as a rookie. During his lone collegiate season at Minnesota, the 6-foot-5 wing averaged 11.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 30.0 minutes over 33 appearances while shooting 39.1 percent from three-point range.

Clippers' Cam Christie: Goes to Clippers at No. 46
Rotowire
Christie was selected by the Clippers with the 46th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
The freshman out of Minnesota is the brother of current Lakers wing Max Christie. The rookie is essentially a pure shooter, though he has defensive upside as well. Christie struggles to score inside and doesn't take contact well, but he can make threes off movement and has good enough vision to keep his teammates involved.
