Ben McLemore
Back in 2013, McLemore was supposed to be the immediate solution to the Kings shooting woes, but never lived up to the expectations. Now it’s 2015, and throughout McLemore’s tenure with the Kings, he has shown a gradual pattern of improvement in the shooting aspect of his game.
From his rookie season, McLemore jumped from making .373 of his shots from the court to .437, and went from making .320 of his three-point shots to .358. With that being said, I’m optimistic that Ben will continue to progress as a shooter going forward.
For the former Jayhawk, the shooting mechanics and work ethic are there. All there is left is for him to do is show the results on the court, and I think Ben will finally take his shooting to that level.
