The Bratwurst - Milwaukee Bucks Blog

In a long, long, long, long overdue move, the Bucks finally decided that having a fifth guard on the active roster is a good idea. They brought up Ramon Sessions from Tulsa.

Sessions had been spectacular in the D-League, averaging 21.1 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 7.6 apg and 1.6 spg. His IPM was 1.05, which at the NBA level would solidly be that of a superstar, but his numbers will lose a lot in the translation to the big leagues.

The one concern is the 3.5 turnovers per game, which isn’t that big a deal — if you’ve never tried watching an NBDL game, don’t bother. They kind of seem like all-star games made up of bad players. Not much offense except for one-on-one isolations, not much defense except for gambling for steals.

While Sessions isn’t a great 3-point shooter (33%), he appears to have a gift for getting to the line. In his last two D-League games he took 31 free throws (hitting 26). He also shot 50% and racked up 26 assists.

I simply cannot believe that he has spent the entire season in Tulsa to this point, but in the long run getting 37 minutes per game so far this season can only be considered beneficial.

But why call him up now, when Redd and Mason are returning? Why not a week ago?
