Christiansen has a good basketball IQ is tough, competes and is very productive. He has great upside and is a true blue collar post that coaches love.
LinkHails from same school as Kentucky short-timer Daniel Orton and posted 20 points and 13 boards in Oklahoma's 2010 4A championship game.
"I am hoping to have the chance to play at a school that has three strong points of having a solid basketball program, being a great university from which to hold a college degree and having a great campus environment," he added. "This past weekend's visit to Colorado sure convinced me that Colorado has all three of those things going for it."
I think he played on the same team as xavier henry. sounds like he is decent offensively. here is an espn writeup:
