Semaj Christon Report Card: Thunder is pulling for the 24-year-old rookie

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. But a point guard who rarely puts himself in danger of a turnover becomes counter productive. A second unit without an effective point guard is an ineffective second unit.

Defense

B Christon proved to be a solid defender.
