Christie has a chance to slide into the first round of next week's draft.
With the 2024 NBA draft less than one week away, Cam Christie is looking to become the first Gophers player drafted since 2020, and the first to be selected in the first round since 2004.
"As the year goes on I knew, 'this could come up,'" head coach Ben Johnson said. "You look at the guy, he's only 18, which the NBA loves. He's got the measurables, he got better as the year went on, you got his brother who is in the league... he's what the NBA looks for." Landing Christie was one of Johnson's highest-profile moves since becoming head coach of the Gophers. 247Sports ranked him as the No. 84 overall player in the class of 2023 and he chose Minnesota over top offers from Michigan State , Purdue and Illinois.
