COMPLETE VEGAS SUMMER LEAGUE SCHEDULE

BUCKS TO WATCH ...

Ramon Sessions: The 6-3 guard from Nevada will look to make a name for himself down in Las Vegas. With Milwaukee’s point guard position uncertain due to free agency, this is a perfect opportunity for a guy like Sessions to show the Bucks staff what he can do. He averaged 12.3 points last season as a college junior, improved his three-point shooting, but also tallied 4.7 assists and 4.7 rebounds. Basketball minds have commented on his ability to take care of the ball and set up his teammates, both factors that would go a long way on a team with a scoring machine like Michael Redd.
