Ramon Sessions 36 17:50 1.8 5.1 34.4 0.2 0.8 21.4 1.8 2.4 72.7 0.4 1.6 1.9 2.7 1.4 0.4 0.0 1.3 5.4Sessions posted career lows in practically every statistical category. It’s hard to blame a team’s losing record, but Sessions made a good case for it. In 36 games, he had a positive differential 6 times. His brief tenure with Kings eclipsed Jason Hart level of production and into Oriene Greene level of no definable basketball skill. (Of course Oriene at least ran back on defense.)

I compared Sessions to Ish Smith, not because I thought we should have gone after Smith but because he is was on three different teams this season, so was easily signed at any point. I thought it put how bad Sessions season was into perspective. For those not familiar with stats.nba.com, the higher the percentile the better.

Possible Replacement:
Luckily he has already been replaced by Andre Miller.
Season Grade:
F, no other explanation needed.
General Manager Grade:
F. Even though it was regarded as a good pickup at the time, it turned into a complete disaster. In a league swamped with backup point guards, our GM managed to find one of the worst in the league. He should also be a cautionary tale for those wanting a team full of veterans how fast the wheels can fall off a guard. It’s shocking that he is only 28 and should be entering his prime right now instead of being one step out of the league.
