Christenson has great hip mobility, long arms and a long frame, and a player that excels on the perimeter mixed with ability to defend the basket blocking shots.

Friday he scored 14 points and grabbed 9 boards against Mac Elite

Elijah turned in a masterclass performance in an opening round win over Minneapolis Central. The long 6’7” wing connected on a pair of triples, showing off his smooth shooting stroke and confidence from the perimeter. He played great interior defense, blocking some shots and making a difference on the boards. Christenson also looked good creating in the open floor, getting to the rim for tough finishes and setting up teammates for open looks. 

One of the best all-round big man i watched for the 15U division. Showed great versatility being able to score inside and out, in transition and in the half court. Can handle the ball some and has great hands, caught everything thrown in his direction. Made tough baskets through contact inside and a nice touch when he stepped out. Changed the game defensively with blocks and deflections.

Christenson proved to be a major Game-Changer this past weekend with the way he impacted winning on both ends of the floor. The talented playmaker stepped up in big moments and delivered when his team needed him most, especially during a thrilling double-overtime win over Future Elite. Elijah filled the stat sheet with rebounds, blocks, and key defensive plays while also knocking down huge shots late in the game. His ability to stay composed in pressure moments and make winning plays was a major reason for his team’s success. Elijah’s versatility, toughness, and clutch shot-making made him one of the standout difference-makers of the weekend.

Elijah offers a lot of versatility at 6’7. This past weekend he spent some time playing a point-forward role, other minutes on the block, and was also capable of popping out to the wing to make plays off the dribble. Elijah was able to beat opposing bigs off the dribble to get to the rim, where he was a threat to finish or kick it out to an open shooter. Moves comfortably on the ball at a young stage. Defensively he was one of the top rim protectors I saw over the weekend, showing good timing and positioning to step in and make a play at the rim.

Elijah turned in an excellent weekend with Minnesota Heat , showing off his full skillset. I really like his long-term potential as a wing prospect, already standing at 6’7” and possessing a lot of skill on the perimeter. He is a confident shooter from beyond the arc, looking very comfortable knocking down open threes off the catch. Christenson was able to score inside in a variety of ways, being able to go to work with his back to the basket and attack the rim off the dribble.
