Semaj Christon
PG, 6’3, 190lbs, 24 years old, 1 year of experience
The recipient of a good amount of minutes as a rookie, the athletic Christon unfortunately could not cut it as a regular back-up point guard. His strong 3:1 assist to turnover ratio was a positive; however, as a scorer, he offered nothing, shooting 34.5% from the field and 19.0% from three-point range. So lost was he offensively that it was a death knell to ever play him alongside another limited offensive player, which, considering the big minutes to Sabonis and Roberson and the occasional minutes for Singler, didn’t give him many good line-ups. Defensively, things were slightly better, but only slightly, and not good enough to offset what he took away. Christon looked overwhelmed at the NBA level despite his best efforts, and while backing up Westbrook is not an easy gig, some money has to be found to find someone who can do it better.
Player Plan: Two unguaranteed minimum salary seasons remaining, but this rookie season did not inspire confidence that he can cut it at this level. Needs a good summer.
