Ben McLemore was considered a possible No. 1 selection at one point, but he saw his stock drop on draft night before being taken seventh by the Sacramento Kings.
Aside from McLemore?s talent, Tyreke Evans? move to the New Orleans Pelicans will ensure the prospect a starting spot. The only problem is that his early showing in Las Vegas underwhelmed those who were expecting greatness.
In his first two games, he shot 22.9 percent from the field, 11.1 percent from deep and 63.6 percent from the foul line. He scored just 12.5 points a game, which was a problem, considering how many shots he was willing to take.
Luckily for McLemore, he turned it around in his third showing. He scored 26 points on 8-of-14 shooting, also going 3-of-6 from long range and 7-of-7 from the foul line.
The good news for fans is that, even when his shot wasn?t falling, he played with the fluidity of an NBA-ready guard. His game will translate to the next level if he takes smart shots, and Sacramento will be pleased to have him as a starter in his rookie season.
