Ramon Sessions “definitely” coming back with Los Angeles Lakers next season – NBA Update
Ramon Sessions has made it clear that he will most likely come back with the Los Angeles Lakers next season. Sessions only joined the Lakers at the trade deadline this shortened NBA season and his integration into the side has been a success, meaning that
the point guard is set to extend his stay in Hollywood.
“Oh yeah, definitely,” Sessions said about returning with the Lakers next season.
Sessions said he had already spoken to General Manager Mitch Kupchak about it and the Lakers had indicated that they want him to stay. The point guard himself is loving life not only in the city of Los Angeles but also inside the franchise which has so much
history.
“Talking to Mitch before I left, they definitely want me back and I’d love to come back. This is a first-class organization. There are banners all over the gym and there’s a lot of history here. From the top to the bottom, everything was great.” He said.
Sessions came from the Cleveland Cavaliers where he had become the second choice point guard, behind rookie sensation Kyrie Irving. The Lakers acquired him just as they let go of long-time point guard Derek Fisher, with Sessions taking over his role as a
starter.
The transition has been relatively smooth for the Lakers as well as for Ramon, but he has had to make some adjustments. As a point guard in a team with the likes of Kobe Bryant, Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol, Sessions does not get the ball as much as he would
want.
His role is different to the conventional point guard in the NBA, therefore the player has decided to use the summer and hone some skills that would help him be more effective with Los Angeles.
“I’m going to work on playing off the ball, especially if things work out and I’m back here,” Sessions said. “Playing off the ball is different than having the ball in your hands. I’m going to work on spot-up threes and other shots that I got in this offense.
Ramon has given Los Angeles the extra pace they required, and did not get out of Fisher, next season he will be looking to immerse himself whole in their system.
