4:08pm: Christie has officially signed with the Clippers, per NBA.com’s transaction log.
10:34am: The Clippers plan to sign second-rounder Cam Christie to a four-year, $7.9MM contract, sources tell Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link).
The 46th overall pick of June’s draft, Christie was one of the youngest players selected, as he won’t turn 19 until later this month. He averaged 11.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists while shooting 39.1% from three-point range in his lone college season at Minnesota (33 games, 30.1 minutes per contest).
The Clips will be using the second-round pick exception to sign the 6’5″ guard, with the fourth year being a team option. Based on the reported terms, Christie will almost certainly receive a rookie minimum — a four-year, minimum-salary deal for a rookie would work out to $7,895,796.
Christie is the younger brother of guard Max Christie, who agreed to a four-year, $32MM deal to return to the Lakers.
