We are seeing the evolution Of Semaj Christon
As far as rookie point guards go, Semaj Christon of the OKC Thunder has struggled. But has he finally found his niche as a player?
Semaj Christon is a slightly divisive player. For people like me, he is a second round pick who was thrust into the spotlight as the backup for Russell Westbrook. For others he is a third string point guard who is just not good enough.
That’s why I am watching the evolution of Christon with intense interest. My guess is that the Thunder drafted Christon as Westbrook insurance; as a second-round pick in the 2014 draft there wasn’t much risk in taking the Xavier product.
