Yeah, what about him?
My fault. I was saying isn't Ramon Sessions a pass-first? I don't know much about the Bucks but this is just based off of what I saw near the end of the season.

It's all dependant on how many touches he gets, surely after last season the offence would be run through him? I mean we all remember Skiles jump shooting Bulls side. With a current perimetre of MoWill, Redd and RJ it could turn ugly, but thats definetly worst case scenario.

If anyone Charlie V needs to get his **** together or he will be a goner.

Definitely agree with RJ helping Bogut's passing skills as far as utilization goes.
I don't think looking at Skiles 'jumpshooting' bulls is really fair to Skiles as a coach. It kind of makes it sound like he heavily emphasized guard play. To be fair you have to look at the personnel he was given. Eddy Curry was the only legit big man Skiles had. When I mean legit, I mean a guy you can give the ball to in the post and count on him to put the ball in the hoop. He averaged just under 12 attempts in a little under 29 minutes a game under Skiles tenure. In fact, in the 2004-2005 season, the Bulls breakout season, Curry led the team in scoring at 16 points per game.
Bogut received just under 12 attempts per game this past season in around 35 minutes per game. Assuming he improves a bit more on the block, there is no reason why he shouldn't be able to get up 13-14 shots per game. If Bogut improves his free throw shooting and jump shot, which I believe he will, he could easily put up 17 points per game if not more next season. (I think this, because his free throw shooting and jumper got a lot better towards the end of the year as he seemed to gain more confidence in his abilities.)
I think Mo is gone by the start of the season. I think this team will have a much better flow to it than it has in past seasons. Throughout Bogut's tenure as a Milwaukee Buck, he's had completely inept head coaching in Terry Stotts and Larry Krystkowiak. Skiles has shown he can make some pretty big improvements with teams in very short periods of time. I expect him to try to utilize Bogut much more than he has in the past.
