Ben McLemore (SAC) – “Young Sav” | “Pizza Guy” 
Profile:
Shooting Guard: 6’5, 195 lbs; 4th year, Kansas
NBA Role: jump-shooting wing • UnderDOG
Ben McLemore’s highlight tapes make him look like an All-Star: a perfectly concocted mixture of textbook jumpers & elite athleticism makes anyone look special, right? – irl, he’s still building momentum as a consistent NBA wing; a former #7 overall pick (2013), McLemore’s had an inconsistent start to his career – might need a change of scenery to turn things around; more of a shooter than anything else (beautiful mechanics on his J), McLemore is working to earn a full-time role*; more effective scoring off the dribble (has trouble converting non-dunks/layups around the rim) and playing tougher wing defense would round out Ben’s game; murky future in Sacramento? – new opportunity under Dave Joeger – it’s important for McLemore to buy into a 6th-8th man role and accept the responsibility of bringing consistent energy off the bench
*needs to hone in on (midrange) curl scoring – we already know McLemore can make curl threes – adding a midrange J/extra pass (off a brush screen) could widen his attack
Signature Shot: 3-pointer (off the hop)
