His second was to his best friend, Cavs guard Mo Williams.
The former young protege is now 24 and eager to rejoin his one-time mentor, Williams, in Cleveland. But Sessions also made clear that he isn't going to sit back and watch his best pal take the job he'd like to play.
"Me and Mo are best friends, but we're gonna compete," Sessions said during a talk with media this morning at the Cavaliers practice facility. "It's not going to be something where I just come in and let him get off easy since he was my mentor coming up. I'm going to come in and compete and play hard."
Both Sessions and 7-foot Ryan Hollins said they are excited to join the Cavaliers and fit in with new coach Byron Scott's up-tempo offense.
"When we did research and were watching film on both these guys we saw a lot of good things, some of the extreme positives of guys running and playing with energy," Cavaliers general manager Chris Grant said.
