Our Thunder a Day in the Month of May series continues today with Semaj Christon, the rookie point guard who started and ended the season as Russell Westbrook’s backup. Here are the grades for Christon’s 2016-17 season:
Aggression: C. Christon was not a playmaker. As a backup point guard, he was trying to avoid mistakes. Which probably was a solid plan. Christon minimized turnovers; he averaged just 0.7 per game and his 1.6 turnovers per 36 minutes were remarkably low for a point guard. Christon had just five bad-pass turnovers all season. Ten teammates had a higher turnover rate.
