UPDATE: With Nash agreement, Sessions is off the board - Page 3 - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

why do the Lakers like Blake? and it's not a raise (he was due to make 4.5m in his option year) and Sessions was pretty damn good during the regular season before Brown schemed him out of the equation and neither of the kids are ready to provide quality minutes for a title contender

Blake is the one who doesn't deserve his contract. And I can't agree that Morris is an exciting prospect.

I hope Nash does for Morris what he did for Dragic. Morris has the talent. Nash is the perfect mentor for him.

he does but he's still a project and the window is now

Morris has no speed and is a mediocre shooter.

elcap15 · 07-09-2012, 04:22 PM

I dont see much promise in Morris. I like the way G-lock shoots it though. With Nash on the team he could really shine.

Morris isn't even a Kareem Rush.

e-monk · 07-09-2012, 05:14 PM

that's not even an apt comparison - he's a play maker with good size and strength and maybe better speed than some of you realize - he was a baller at Michigan but probably should have stayed one more season - in the chances he got with us he played too fast and looked lost but seeing as he was thrust onto the court as a 21 year old rookie with no training camp on a team that didnt even have a consistent offensive scheme none of that should be too surprising

Both of the rooks from last year deserve a break. Ebanks too. Coming onto a team with a new coach and no training camp and few in season practices is a tough load.

The thing is I didn't see a lot of raw ability from him. I can't list one think on the court he does exceptionally well, where I can with glock and ebanks.

elcap15 · 07-10-2012, 03:05 PM

I totally agree. Morris is a good ball handler, but I have not seen him do anything with it. It doesnt seem like he has great court vision.

I am however, going to give him a break until I see more. I dont think last season was a fair shot.

**King Sancho Fantastic** · 07-10-2012, 03:30 PM

Morris has excellent court vision. It's just that he plays at too fast a pace and tries to force it a little too much. He's got the Sasha syndrome without the chucking mentality. Perhaps seeing the way Nash controls tempo and picks his spots will help the kid out. With his size and strength he should be able to post up smaller guards ala Andre Miller. I'd have him watch Miller and Payton tapes all day.

Looks like Sessions is headed to the Bobcats.

Back to obscurity for Sessions.
