Five Games That Show Ben McLemore’s True Potential
By Ti Windisch
April 12th, 2015 – Denver Nuggets
Hopefully Little Mac can have a few similarly great games against the Denver Nuggets next season, seeing as they’re staffed by more than a few old friends of Sacramento’s front office. It’s also encouraging that so many of these games are coming late in McLemore’s career–it means he keeps getting better.

This game is another efficient performance from Little Mac–50 percent from the field, 40 percent from three-point territory and 75 percent from the charity stripe are all very good numbers. Plus McLemore stuffed the stat sheet against the Nuggets, ending with a great line of 20/5/7/4.
He did have four turnovers this game, but the pure volume of all of his other numbers outshines those mistakes in my opinion. Unfortunately the Sacramento Kings weren’t able to outshine Denver in this one, as the Nuggets won 122-111.
