Ramon Sessions, Milwaukee: Few teams are as under-the-radar as the Bucks, and to take it a step further, few Bucks are as under-the-radar as Sessions.
Sessions played most of last season for the Tulsa 66ers in the D-League before getting a late season call-up.
Last year, Ramon Sessions was in the D-league before the Bucks called. (Getty Images) What he did after that was more impressive than anything Sessions had done to get there.
Sessions wound up playing 17 games at point guard for the Bucks, and the last seven were borderline jaw-dropping.
On April 14, in a game against the Bulls, Sessions had 20 points and an NBA season-high 24 assists. The 24 assists were also a franchise record. Sessions followed that with a 25-point, 14-assist game in the season finale, finishing off a run in which he averaged 13.1 points, 11.7 assists and 5.7 rebounds.
Sessions was selected late in the second round out of Nevada in 2007. He has size, is heady and is a pass-first point guard. He takes care of the ball, too. But remember, his big scoring nights came in games that had no playoff implications.
The good news for Sessions is that Mo Williams is gone and Luke Ridnour is a Buck. That's a drop-off there, and it should allow Sessions an opportunity to play plenty of minutes.
Tyronn Lue is also going to provide Sessions some competition. But considering Sessions is in his second season and Ridnour and Lue are relatively known commodities, who do you think has first dibs on playing time?
That's right -- Sessions.
...but then those games were meaningless right? anyone could get 20/24 at that time of year right? i mean it happens at the tail end of every year. doesn't it?
