Ledo will be better than him. :pimp: First organized game since highschool, shoots 4/5 and played some nice defense. Although he was lost sometimes like all rookies, he also had some very savvy assists.

yeah I know it's just summer league, but man...he did look pretty bad. Shot form is good, but most were short or off. Still showed great athleticism. Some questionable choices in his drives and defensive awareness. Based on that 1 game alone, I say he gets destroyed as a starter, would serve him best to come off the bench and play vs 2nd team units for 20 mins.

...but it's only summer league. :cheers:

Trey Burke and Michael Carter-Williams were absolutely atrocious in nearly every summer league game this year. Don't put too much stock into it.

Nope. Kobe would've at least shot 6/24 ala 2010 Game 7.

Like Dwight Howard, the main problem with Ben McLemore appears to be between his ears. I'm looking forward to seeing if he can prove everyone wrong.

a). It's Summer League
b). Come the real season there will be very little focus put on him cause he will probably be on the floor with Cousins and Vasquez
c). DMC during 3 games of his summer league shot a combined 9/44 including 1/12 and he turned into a fine pro.
d). Kings still got the most talented player in the draft and he has a game that will translate to the NBA level.

The most talented part or the part where his game will translate to the NBA level? The talented part yeah you could argue for sure. I should have put one of the most talented players in the draft.

The talented part. I have no doubt that he'll do fine in the NBA.

Even thought he missed 90% of his shots, it's good to see Big Mac aggressive that was a knock on him so if anything this is a positive sign rather than a negative. Everyone knows the man can shoot so it's only a matter of time once he starts nailing them.

yeah, his technique is there. Just struggled today. As Reggie and Kerr pointed out, as long as he can still help the team when he struggles, he'll be ok (i.e. become great defender, create plays for teammates, hustle for boards/loose balls, etc) and as long as he doesn't keep chucking on his off-nights... Unless they're high % shots. He took some pretty bad shots today.

He will help the team cause he's a system player not a guy who can create for himself atm which is what the Summer League favors, just his shooting, size and athletic ability alone with nothing else will help the Kings.

Didn't Durant go like 4-20 in his first summer game also?

Take Your Lumps
07-14-2013, 03:19 PM
I'm sure McLemore will have some shooting nights but that first game imo is a microcosm of what's to come. When his shot isn't falling he becomes a huge liability on the other end. Which is of course, one of the reasons why so many teams passed on him.

IGOTGAME
07-14-2013, 03:22 PM
Didn't watch the game but the fact he got up 24 shots is a positive to me. He may actually end up being pretty good. Too bad he is in Sacremento.

Durant was awful in the '07 summer league. Scored a lot of points but on terrible efficiency, almost no assists, and poor rebounding.

Why did this thread turn into some crap about Kobe? Seriously it's about Ben McLemore who actually after 3 rough games showed again a bit of what he can do. This has nothing to do with Kobe Bryant, he's nothing like Kobe so no need to even bring him up in any comparison.

Or maybe he's a player who needs good players around him to get him open shots so there's not as much attention on him?
