Here are a few highlights from the Wolves’ introductory news conference featuring guard Ramon Sessions, the team’s newest acquisition:
Q: How do you see yourself fitting in here? How much do you know about the teammates you have?
Sessions: “I meet the guys today for the first time and it was a great feeling and a great vibe. I am looking forward to it as a young team, I am a young player, it is my third year coming in so I am definitely looking forward to the challenge.”
Q: Ramon, if Rubio were still here, would you have come?
Sessions: “I don’t know how that situation would have played out, but it played out to where he stayed over and they came to me with an offer and I felt like it was a great up and coming team, so I am looking forward to playing with Jonny Flynn and those guys.”
Q: Ramon, can you talk about your experience with the D-League and how that helped you make your step to the NBA?
Sessions: “With my experience in the D-League, like Kahn said, I played two seasons, but one of those seasons was basically in the D-League and it was a great experience for me going down to Tulsa and getting some minutes and playing in a NBA type of system, playing against guys that have been in the NBA, guys that are trying to get to the NBA, but without the D-League I do not think I would be in this situation today.”
Q: Are you comfortable playing off the ball as much as you are with the ball in your hand?
Sessions: “This past year was really my first year playing off the ball, I felt really comfortable. With Mike Redd going down in Milwaukee, I had the opportunity to show that I can play off the ball so I am definitely looking forward to that challenge.”
Q: Ramon, can you talk about Al Jefferson, a proven guy at the post that you get to work with now?
Sessions: “I am definitely looking forward to that. Big Al is a great player, to me one of the best power forwards in the league and to team-up with him, a guy that can catch any kind of pass that can make me look better. I am looking forward to playing with him and Kevin Love down there.”
