Bottom Line: Semaj Christon is an underrated star guard for Xavier University, and has all the potential in the world plus quality stats to back him up. Christon is not a completely polished NBA Prospect. He will need to work on perimeter shooting and free throw shooting in addition to committing less turnovers in order to be drafted in the late first round.
