Then the weekend arrived. Christon couldn't sleep. One night before NBA teams had to cut rosters to 15 players, the 23-year-old guard was at home talking to himself.
“I sat there for a long time,” Christon told reporters Monday. “I don't even think I really went to sleep.”
Then Christon smiled.
“I was good though when I got the call this morning.”
