Sixth Man: Ramon Sessions

Age: 30 (4/11/1986)
2015-2016 Shooting Stats: 47.3%/ 32.4%/ 75.6%
2015-2016 Averages: 9.9 PPG, 2.9 APG, 2.5 RPG, 20.3 MPG

Ramon Sessions was singed this offseason to a two-year, $12 million deal as the team is hoping that he can replace the production of Jeremy Lin from last year. Lin was the Hornets’ sixth man and back-up point guard. Sessions will now take over that role but it is unclear if he will be the sixth man or if he will be used in the sam capacity that Lin was.

He played in all 82 games last season with the Washington Wizards so his availability should be a positive for Charlotte next year. This will be Ramon’s second stint with the team as he will be the back-up for Kemba once again.

The 2016-2017 Charlotte Hornets will have a lot of pressure on them to live up to the expectations that will be placed upon them. No one expected anything from them last year but everyone around the league will be ready for them this season and their task to make the playoffs will be even more difficult.
