Christie, rated as the 13th-best prospect in 2021 in the 247 composite rankings, is a 6’6 shooting guard out of Rolling Meadows, IL. Christie won a gold medal with the USA Basketball U-16 team at the 2019 FIBA Americas Championship. He was also named to the All-Illinois team by USA Today and was on MaxPrep’s sophomore All-American third team last season.
Christie boasts scholarship offers from a number of top programs including Duke, Virginia, Michigan, Ohio State, Purdue, Villanova, and Illinois. Duke is considered the favorite to land the highly-touted prospect.
