While the video above does not prove that it's Green and Christopher, an extended version was later uploaded on YouTube.

Jalen Green and Josh Christopher's relationship
Jalen Green and Josh Christopher were two of the four first-round picks of the Houston Rockets in the 2021 NBA draft. They were teammates for two seasons before Christopher was traded this offseason to the Memphis Grizzlies as part of the Dillon Brooks deal.
Christopher was then waived by the Grizzlies, but the Utah Jazz signed him to a two-way contract. He's dividing his time with the Jazz and their NBA G League affiliate, the Salt Lake City Stars.
Apart from being teammates, Green and Christopher are close friends from California. They faced each other frequently when they were in high school, but both had different paths to the NBA.
Green went directly to the G League Ignite team and was picked second overall. Meanwhile, Christopher played one season of college basketball for the Arizona State Sun Devils.
Green and Christopher have not commented on the video. Several NBA personalities reacted to it back then, but the focus is now on Josh Giddey.
