The Bucks’ second round pick is a point guard with good size (6′3″, 200) and decent scoring/distributing ability (12.3 ppg, 4.7 apg). He rebounds well for his size (4.7 rpg). He was a 3 year starter for Nevada, and was considered a likely candidate to return to school after declaring for the NBA Draft, but since running mate Nick Fazekas was out of eligibility, going pro made some sense.
The problem with Sessions is that he has very poor form on his jumper, leading to inconsistency. In his final 10 college games he scored in double figures 6 times, but had only 2 points in 3 of the remaining 4 games. He played for a WAC team, so the jury is still out on his ability to handle tougher competition.
He wont pay dividends this year, especially since the point guard position will most likely be manned by Mo Williams with Lynn Greer and Charlie Bell providing the backup minutes. Most likely he spends the season in the D-League trying to get that J straightened out. If he can, then he might become a capable backup in a year or two.

I want to give a shout out for Ramon Sessions. I grew up in Milwaukee attending Bucks games from 1975-1993. I currently live here in Nevada and am a season ticket holder for the Nevada Wolfpack for the past 9 years. Ramon Sessions has the passing/assist ability of Steve Nash and is a true general point guard making all the dictations on the court. He has ice in his veins and really takes over games in close/closing minutes. He can take the ball to the hoop strong and does have a great short/mid range jumper. In this past season he also showed he can make a good amount of 3’s. I think his scoring average would have been alot higher but the wolfpack was loaded with scorers in Nick Fazekas and Marceles Kemp. The Bucks really did well with this pick and I can’t wait to see him succeed!

Man Ramon will be fine in Milwaukee. They need all they can get and I guarantee that they were blessed to have the opportunity to pick him. Sessions is a natural. Everybody is sleeping on his scoring ability. That’s what he does is score @ will, but he has a point guard mentality. So to the haters, kick rocks and let my boy do his job.
