    SemazSemaj Christon announced he will declare for the NBA Draft and is projected to go in the second round.

    “I just want to thank Xavier nation,the coaches and my teammates ..this been the 2years of my life .. LOVE XAVIER ” he Tweeted.

    ESPN.com and CBSSports.com previously reported he was entering the Draft.

    DraftExpress.com projects the 6-foot-3 Christon — who averaged 17.0 points and 4.2 assists this season — as the No. 43 pick in the draft.

    “That is his range,” one veteran NBA scout told SNY.tv.

    “Nice college guard with good size for a point. Not a shooter but can score and get to the basket. He could become a good on-ball defender. Probably going to spend sometime in the D-League. His decision-making also needs to improve. He currently is more of  a scoring guard  than a point guard.”
