Bleacher report
Kings fans. It’s hard to imagine a greater joy than the one Sacramento’s diehards felt when the Kings were saved from relocation, seemingly at the last possible moment. Getting a top-three talent and a possible future All-Star in Ben McLemore at No. 7 should rank right up there, too.

in the end, EMAW will always win.
I really don't get the arguing. I'm almost certain he went 7th.

hey 'clams....
Nobody wants to draft a KU player cause they do nothing when they get there.

I figured the steal of the draft would be an A.Not trolling here, B-Mac can't create his own shot. He's got great 3pt% and amazing ability to dunk (when he's on a breakaway and no one can get in front of him) and he disappears for games. He's fun to watch but he's not somebody who's going to take over a game and win it for you (unless you get him open a bunch of times outside the 3pt line).They gave Sacramento an overall grade on their draft, not just McLemore. You 'taters are so bitter and butthurt that you can't even think straight anymore. Tell me which part of my analysis is wrong.Pretty much all of your analysis is weak. You say that McLemore can't create his own shot, when in fact he has the ability to hit the pull up jumpshot and get to the rim with authority. You say McLemore can't take over a game, when in fact he scored 30+ points three different times last year (including 30 at home vs. K-State). The kid was playing his first year of college basketball last season... of course he was going to be inconsistent at times. Even at that, McLemore set the all-time KU scoring record for a freshman, while shooting over 43% from 3-point range, 87% from the free throw line, and close to 50% from the floor. You can't coach shooting ability, and you can't coach athleticism. McLemore has the raw ability to be an all-star in the NBA someday. It's just a matter of time before his potential is realized.

If it were up to me, Wintz would be on a fan scholarship, full ride.
Who care's? He's not a KU player anymore.
Ben McLemore, Kings 14 PTS | 4 REB | 0 ASTMcLemore improved his field goal percentage in his second game at summer league, but it wasn't by a lot. Once again McLemore's stroke from distance was way off (1-for-7), and at one point he even fired up back-to-back airballs to the jeers of the crowd. With a dribble-drive game that looked reckless, there was no saving grace to be found. He's pressing right now. -- FosterGrade: D+
