 Am I the only one noticing how much Ben McLemore has improved this year? Not only is his scoring up from 8.8 to 12.4, his field goal percentage from 37%-48% (!), and his 3 point percentage from 32%-39.5%, but he also looks much more comfortable with the ball and creating for himself. He has clearly worked a lot on his ball handling and creating off the dribble. I still believe he has All-Star potential. What do you guys think?

definitely looks much more comfortable in the offense.  i don’t know if the drafting of stauskas sparked a fire under his butt or he just put too much pressure on himself his first season.

as far as all-star?  it’s going to be tough.  he’s the 3rd option and he is sharing the position with another skilled guy in stauskas.

All of my fellow Kings fans last year said they wasted 3 picks in a row on Jimmer, Thomas Robinson and McLemore. As I constantly told them to give him time, look who’s starting to shine? Within these next few years, I could definitely see him developing into a DeMar DeRozan like player.

I’m not sure about the developing into Demar Derozan part. Both of them have very different playing styles. Demar is more like the Kobe type, specializing in isolations and post-ups while also curling off screens for mid-range jumpers. Mclemore curls off screens for threes, and when a player closes out, that’s when he drives. More like Bradley beal to me.

I think he can make two or three ALL-STAR appearance, but he won’t be a regular. I’ve noticed he has improved his ball handling, and is playing with much more confidents then last year. Always figure him to end up being a capable high quality starter. He does have one kinda big draw back that he is smallish and doesn’t have long arms by NBA standards. I think Westbrook is taller and longer then him.

With SG being so weak latley he has a nice chance to curve out top 5 -7 SGs in the future. I think he should try and model his game and ethic after wes matthews. I like Ben he really lets the game come to him.

 I can’t wait until the Beal vs McLemore discussion comes about in the near future.

 Two St.Louis guys too. That will be interesting if it ever comes to be.

 Still reminds me of J-Rich. Can dunk and shoot 3s, but no the best in between game. I still see his potential, his jumper is picture perfect and he throws down some nasty dunks. Only gonna get better.

[Lotto StudParticipant]

 Just don’t fall in love with the shot. I hope he does not get complacent to where he’s not utilizing his athleticism to the fullest.
