ANALYSIS: You never like to see injuries to young stars like Bradley Beal, but this could be great news for future Ramon Sessions owners. The status on Beal’s injury has not been disclosed yet, but after watching it live, and knowing Beal’s history with injuries, I am pessimistic. I expect him to miss a week at least, but it could be much longer if anything was broken/dislocated.
Even if Sessions is only the starter for a week or so, he is most definitely worth the roster addition. Beal shoulders a lot of the scoring load when he’s on the floor, and as a result Sessions will have to do the same.
Ramon Sessions has the ability to put up points in bunches, so expect a lot of points, threes, and plenty of free throw attempts (while shooting 87% from the line). Depending on how Coach Wittman handles the rotation, Sessions could see a lot of time without John Wall on the floor, which would give his assist numbers a big boost as well.
This is a no-brainer add regardless of how long Beal is out--go snag him before someone else in your league does.
