Malcolm Brogdon and Matthew Dellavedova are similar players that fill an important role on the Bucks. They are spot-up shooters who can space the floor around Giannis Antetokounmpo, handle the ball when he passes out, and provide enveloping defense to opposing guards.

Neither are a “traditional” point guard, however, able to initiate the offense consistently and drive into the teeth of the defense with an eye to pass or shoot. Pulling up off the dribble for a three-pointer is not a move taught in Milwaukee, as no one on the team can boast that skill as a strength.

Enter a backup point guard who brings many of those traditional skills to the table, such as creating a shot for yourself and others. Ramon Sessions is far from a perfect player, but he can handle the ball well. Likely to be let go by the Charlotte Hornets, he could fit into Milwaukee’s roster if they elect to get another veteran guard to replace Jason Terry.

Even if Jason Terry were to return, Sessions is a higher-floor option than Gary Payton II, currently on the roster with a non-guaranteed contract. If the Bucks are worried about injury concerns with Dellavedova, or if they decide Payton isn’t an NBA player, they could add a veteran point guard just like Sessions to shore up the position.
