Bucks_Revenge · Post #1 » by **Bucks_Revenge** » Sun Jan 27, 2008 5:25 am

David Noel had a good debut after being sent down for the first time in his young nba career.

David Noel
16 points 3 rebounds 2 blocks 7-13 shooting

Ramon Sessions had his greatest game yet

sick numbers

26 points 10 rebounds 14 assist

a triple double this kid in my opinion will be a NBA starter someday.

I know its only d-league but that is impressive by Sessions holy ****.

No doubt the guy is going to be rock solid at the NBA level.

With that said look for the Bucks to trade him for a 2nd rd pick in the 2010 NBA draft

:rofl:

There's no way to know how good Sessions will be based on his D-League play. But the one thing that is quite clear is that it's a pretty darn good sign he's dominating there.

Trade Mo for Artest and call him up.

Doesnt Randy Livingston average like a double-double in the Dleague? And he cant even make an NBA roster so how is Sessions oging to be a solid starter?

it's not about stats it's about how you play the game and if you watched Sessions you would know he is going to be good....but only people who never played sports only look at stats.

What is it going to take to get Sessions to Milwaukee and see what he's got?

Are we keeping him in the NBDL because the Bucks PG play is so stellar?

LUKE23 · Post #9 » by **LUKE23** » Sun Jan 27, 2008 9:52 pm

I like the fact that he appears to be a true point. And I agree, NBDL stats mean little, but the fact that he's dominating pretty much everyone is a good sign.

I'd like to call him up right now and just see what we've got. Even getting 10 minutes of real NBA playing time is 20 times better than playing the whole game against D-League players. Lets develop him in the NBA, not the D-League.

My God, what is a true PG?

I swear, you just get labeled that at some point and it sticks with you forever.

Sessions shoots a lot.

Not really. NBDL is a different game. College is a better indicator of his game style. In 65 career games, he averaged 7.3 FGA/game, averaging about 28 minutes a game between the two seasons.

College is a better indicator of how a player will play in the NBA than the NBA sponsered professional league with "NBA" in it's name?

I guess I'm still waiting for Trajon Langdon to breakout.

Encouraging stats by both players..Love the fact Sessions was able to get a triple double even if its in the D-League.

Look at the players in the NBDL and watch a game, then watch a big time college game and get back to me. Obviously the NBDL is easier, otherwise you wouldn't see the ridiculous numbers by some players that are nowhere near what they did in college.

NCAA Division one is much better indicator.

midranger · Post #16 » by **midranger** » Sun Jan 27, 2008 10:59 pm

The D-League is largely an isolation league with no defense. Just like the NBA. The college game thrives on team play and strong defense.

I agree, it seems to me that the D-League is relatively more guard/perimeter oriented.

I guess I don't care if a PG is a "true" PG or not (I hate that term). I just care that he's a player. Sessions is certainly that at the D-League level.

As opposed to the NBA where the best players are all centers?

The NBA is a guard/perimeter dominated league. The defensive rules aim to keep it that way.

There are more star players at PG/SG/SF than at PF/C, but the really good teams the MAJORITY of the time (not all the time) have a dominant PF or C.
