Semaj doing his part with the three. I'm still bitter about the loss to UCLA/Westbrook and Love but this has been an impressive season to say the least. And this one assist makes it a little less bitter.

Semaj averages 2.0 asts and 0.7 turnovers a game, almost 3-to-1 ratio! I like it, hope he gets more playing time next year.
And I saw he makes over $500K/yr on his bio page, good for Semaj! I'd say it worked out well!Go Muskies! www.XavierBasketball.com

Westbrook also ended the Nuggets Playoff hopes with his buzzer beating 36 ft. 3. Ugh.

Semaj got a call out from Zach Lowe (see #10)....though not necessarily in a good way:

I can't understand ever playing Semaj off the ball. An 6'3", 18% three-point shooter at the 2, playing next to another slasher in Westbrook? Lunacy.

Agreed, lots to improve but the 3 to 1 assist-to-turnover rate in rookie season is pretty cool to see, even if it is in limited minutes.
Wow that writer is a real dick about it. How can you already say that a guy will be horrible when Westbrook eventually leaves when that guy is in his first year in the NBA?Go Muskies! www.XavierBasketball.com

This may be Semaj's first year in the NBA, but he's 24 yrs old and in his 3rd year out of school. It's not like he's a frosh setting foot on the court. And while the article was harsh, that was its intended tone. The point, frankly, is accurate. Semaj still has tons of potential, but you're only going to get so many chances with shooting numbers like that.

But it's basically his first year in the NBA, obviously the highest league in the world in going to take a slight learning curve. I think he can improve on those numbers, just needs to continue to work at it, we know he has the talent, it'll be interesting to see if it pans out into a nice little career.

Sure, it's harsh but it's accurate. Right now Semaj is not a good NBA player. Hopefully the Thunder will keep him around and he'll get a shot to improve, but I also wouldn't be shocked if he's back in Europe in the near future.
