Edit: I've added Goran Dragic and Isiah Thomas to the discussion.

There's been talk that Ramon and Jeremy have similar stories. Both overlooked in the draft, Ramon went in the 2nd rd, Jeremy went undrafted. Both spent time in the D-League. Both finally get their chances on a big market team. With that said, Ramon Sessions has put up crazy numbers in the past and he can be a good PG while Jeremy has been more recent and has been learning to play the PG position in major minutes. Some Lakers fans believe Ramon is way better than Jeremy Lin, by a mile and it's not even close. While I assume Knicks fans would defend Jeremy.

Lakers and Knicks fans are welcome, but I would also like to see who other teams fans would choose?

Ramon Sessions:


or

Jeremy Lin:


or

Goran Dragic:


or

Isiah Thomas

When Linsanity started, I said multiple times Ramon Sessions was the best comparison to Lin. Not only because of their histories, but their style of play and to some extent their strengths/weaknesses are very similar.

Funny how these things work out.

As of now, I'd pick Sessions but there's isn't that wide separation.

I think Lakers and Knicks fans in this board (and other people who are fans of the players) crazily overrate them.

ps - I see Dragic and Thomas were added. Now I pick Dragic as the best player of the lot.

Ramon Sessions easily.

Isaiah is a good pick too, but unfortunately he's not in a bigger market so I left him out of the discussion. Otherwise, I would have included this man too.

No contest, wrap it up, nothing to see here.

Tbh Laker fans overrate Ramon but it's a good sense of humor

It's not certain at the moment and this is an unnecessary topic because you know people are tired of the media hype for both and will vote either one up or down based on that.

For my money i'd say Jeremy Lin has way more upside, all hype aside.

Sessions has already been around for a long time already we already see what he's capable of. What he's doing now isn't that surprising if you look at his career thus far.

No doubt. This guy is a really good player. He shoots the ball well and can also create for others. Plays under control and from what I've seen doesn't turn the ball over much

too far?

People don't understand statistics either. A player can drop 15-20 pt /8 assist games in a row and then fall back down to the median over a season. So when you look at their stats in the end it averages out to their career stats.

Sessions is an 11/6 guy throughout his 4 year career. He'll have a few big games here and there but it'll average out to 11/6 still because he's done that for 4 straight years now.

If he keeps playing 25 min, yeah about that.

He was an 11/6 player off the bench, certainly not with starter minutes.

i think lin is starting to get overrated.. the guy averages the most turnovers per 48 (6.4s/per 48), which is head and shoulders above anyone else. steve nash is the closest 2nd (guys who have played many minutes and many games.. like lin).

i think ramon is better, but i admit i am a laker fan. haven't seen enough of isiah thomas to compare, so i can't quite say. and goran seems to be more hot and cold, but i think he has the most upside of the 3 mentioned.
