Sessions’ questionable defense is the result of his lack of understanding of positioning and moving his feet. However, he improved on defense later in the season…a good sign that he was listening to Skiles. What a lot of folks don’t mention is that in the last 1/3 or so of the season, PGs going against Sessions were not putting up stellar lines. In Sessions’ 44 point game against Detroit, Stuckey didn’t exactly get his. Also, I wouldn’t call Sessions “a little slim”. He played quite a bit of SG last year and generally held his own. Anyway, if Sessions is “a little slim”, I guess Aaron Brooks would be something less than anemic.

As a couple of people already mentioned, Sessions is the better floor general. He gets guys very good shots (they don’t always convert). And, sure, he has a bad outside shot right now. He realizes this and doesn’t jack up bad shot after bad shot. Instead, he tries to get guys shots in their comfort zones…including himself. He’s also not someone who has to dominate the ball. He’s very willing to throw the outlet pass when there’s an opportunity for quick offense.

So, the case for Sessions goes well beyond the stats. The stats only tell a partial story inasmuch as his role changed constantly last year. Players generally perform better when they come to work each day knowing their role. If Sessions ends up in NY and D’Antoni tells him “you’re my starter. you’re going to play 35 minutes a night.”…well, he’ll flourish and I think that team will surprise. MIL was a tough out many nights last year even though they played half a season without Bogut and Redd.

Also the argument made that Sessions is a True/better PG is confusing to me. Felton doesn’t have one real offensive threat on his team that can either shoot or finish plays yet he still gets plenty of assist. Not to mention he is sharing the PG spot because the BCats are dumb when it comes to player management. Felton is also a born leader, great ball handling skills, equal passing skills to sessions if not better, can create for his team, and on top of that he can score.

Also to the write of the article, how can you say you would pick Sessions because he is better at running, when Felton won a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP at UNC running muthaf^kas out the gym (Literally) every night. He is now trapped in a system that wanted him to walk it up and dump it in to Emeka every trip down court. That should change with Tyson Chandler, but the BCats are so cheap Felton may not be back with them to find out.

Most of you have never seen either play in the NBA so to judge them on stats alone is just plain silly.
