Michigan State Spartans guard Max Christie has a skill set that will make him a valuable asset in the NBA, so he declared for the draft.

Christie has plenty of room to improve as a prospect, but he can shoot well and has the ideal size for an NBA shooting guard. Shooting is a skill almost every team can use.

Outside of his shooting, Christie will need plenty of development to be an elite NBA shooting guard. But several players have made a career out of the ability to shoot well and do little else.

In the latter part of the first round, several teams could take a chance on him, then use him as a rotational shooter while he develops into a well-rounded player.
