Ramon Sessions (born April 11, 1986) is an American professional basketball player for the Charlotte Hornets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks with the 56th overall pick in the 2007 NBA draft.
Sessions played collegiately at the University of Nevada for three years and ranks second in career assists at Nevada with 478. In Sessions' final season at Nevada he averaged 12.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.
Although some sportswriters felt Sessions should have returned for his senior year at Nevada, he put on a very strong performance at the NBA pre-draft camp in Orlando and decided to stay in the draft. He was considered by some scouts to be a very good ballhandler, passer, and decision-maker, although his athleticism and NBA-scoring ability were questioned.
Sessions was the first NBA player to be assigned to the NBA Development League in the 2007–08 season, when he was sent by the Bucks to the Tulsa 66ers; Sessions was named D-League Performer of the Week for the opening weekend of the season, November 26, 2007, averaging 30.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists. Later in the season, for January 28, 2008, he was also named Performer of the Week, becoming the first two-time performer for the season. He averaged 29.6 points, 8.0 rebounds and 12.3 assists in three wins for the 66ers.
In January 2008, Sessions was first called up to the Bucks, but due to a wrist injury, he wasn't able to make his NBA debut until March 9, in a 119–97 home loss against the Philadelphia 76ers, scoring 2 points. Later on, due to injuries to starting point guard Mo Williams and reserve Charlie Bell, his playing time increased. Earlier, on April 2, he made a game-winning 19-foot baseline jumper, off a pass from Andrew Bogut, to give the Bucks a one-point road win against the Washington Wizards, in a game where the Bucks never led by more than one point. Sessions started his first career game against the Indiana Pacers on April 8. Although he went just 3 for 10 with just 8 points, Sessions recorded 10 assists in a 105–101 Bucks loss.
