Many here are saying he needs to go to get better coaching.Not a soul said christie NEEDS to go

I think he should’ve stayed in college another year but he’s gone and he’s not coming back so I wish him all the best and I’m glad we got him for one yearA very fair & balanced article was posted...listing the pros & cons of going into the draft early. And guys here who hate Ben jumped all over it...saying Christie needs to go.
Listing all the same old tired arguments we've heard here a hundred times. Of course with the getting better coaching mantra.
Many here are saying he needs to go to get better coaching.
I'm sure there's a bit of bias going on there, even if they're not all big Gophers fans.I visit a few Timberwolves boards and I'm surprised how many fans would be happy with Christie at #27, let alone #37.
Seems ridiculous for a "win now" team to grab a guy that needs at least 2-3 years development to contribute but what do I know...I love dill pickle potato chips.
So I'm angry, upset, & melting down. And no one said Cam needed to leave to get better coaching.I get your in full blown meltdown mode. Your mad your angry and upset .. no one said he needed to go to get better coaching. Most of what I've read has been if an NBA team is looking at him as a developmental player the those teams interested in him would prefer he received coaching from within their organizations... Just like MLB... They sign kids to the minors to get them within the organization and that they recieve their training...
And yes the training and coaching cam will be receiving in the NBA is far better than what he would receive at the u.
Based on what he should have stayed? To support a below average program? Charity?I think he should’ve stayed in college another year but he’s gone and he’s not coming back so I wish him all the best and I’m glad we got him for one year
Supporting a below average program is exactly what WE are doing!Based on what he should have stayed? To support a below average program? Charity?
Like why would a top 40 prospect ever come back? Make no mistake about it Love and others that have returned are only because they weren't going to be drafted.
Speak for yourself, well define support? In Christies case it would have been forgoing millions of potential earningsSupporting a below average program is exactly what WE are doing!
I guess if "support" means financial, neither of us qualify.Speak for yourself, well define support? In Christies case it would have been forgoing millions of potential earnings
I will always be a gopher fan, I am a proud alum. But I no longer live in Minnesota and haven't gone to a game in years. I also watched exactly one full game last year. If you call that support, yeah I guess.
New regime and I will be back to where I was and tune in to 70-80% of the games
I'm not turning down millions of dollars to do it.Supporting a below average program is exactly what WE are doing!
And no one should expect Christie to do it......I'm not turning down millions of dollars to do it.
I agree with all this. Christie doesn't know us from Adam. He owes us nothing. And I'm not wishing him well...any more or less than I'd wish anyone well.And no one should expect Christie to do it......
I would not draft him that high, but more power to him if he can get that. It would validate his decision to stay in the draft, for sure.Has him mocked at #20 to the Cavs. That's the highest I've seen him mocked at. Would be looking at a 4 yr deal worth about $16.25 million.
If he does it’s because this is an historically bad draft class.I would not draft him that high, but more power to him if he can get that. It would validate his decision to stay in the draft, for sure.
Yup, Cam hasn't put in any work and is entirely a product of how poor everyone around him is.If he does it’s because this is an historically bad draft class.
Those must be some sour grapes...If he does it’s because this is an historically bad draft class.
It is very weird how some are reacting to Cam going into the draft. A gopher player going into the draft and likely getting picked should be seen as a good thing.Yup, Cam hasn't put in any work and is entirely a product of how poor everyone around him is.
So many posts in this thread that show an incapability to be happy for or give credit to other people.
Amari Allen specifically mentioned Cam, as a reason for his interest.Mock Draft
In this one Christie is at #30 to the Celtics. He is #34 and #35 a lot. In one above he was #20.
So, it seems real likely he will get drafted.
Also, he is getting enough buzz at the end of the first and top of 2nd round that it seems if somebody likes him they might move into round one to be sure to get him if he's still there towards the end of round one.
He has the coveted "potential" label when it comes to drafts.
I agree with Ben it would be a very good thing for the Gophers recruiting if he could get drafted with a good contract.
But there are guys on here who hate the coach so much that they say that it's great for our players to leave. Practically cheer for them to go. Always saying the same delusional crap that they're going to get better coaching elsewhere.Those must be some sour grapes...
This thread is hilarious to read...in a very sad way.
You were rooting for him to get injured so he wouldn't leave. Is that better?But there are guys on here who hate the coach so much that they say that it's great for our players to leave. Practically cheer for them to go.
Yes. Just nagging injuries, nothing too serious.You were rooting for him to get injured so he wouldn't leave. Is that better?
It was the same as it was with Amir.It is very weird how some are reacting to Cam going into the draft. A gopher player going into the draft and likely getting picked should be seen as a good thing.
I think some are just so jaded by all the roster movement that they can't separate a guy going into the NBA from a guy transferring to a different college. Fans should be rooting for the guys like Cam who are moving on to the next level.
Being negative about guys transferring out makes perfect sense....but that is not what is happening here so the reaction some are having is very strange.
The problem is that a lot of people were expecting that Cam would be the catalyst to another year of improvement, especially after Payne and Hawkins left. Cam had the potential and the swagger to be a difference maker and a lot of people around here talked about that. They also thought when he entered the draft that there was little chance he would be advised to leave and since originally he had not entered the portal everything seemed great.It is very weird how some are reacting to Cam going into the draft.

Who is saying it was great for players to leave? These delusions you come up with are not healthy.But there are guys on here who hate the coach so much that they say that it's great for our players to leave. Practically cheer for them to go.
