Ben McLemore

[Sac.1989]

People tend to forget this important fact because they have this image of whiner JT from his first couple of seasons but the man has become one of the best post defenders in the NBA. He's essentially become the player Geoff Petrie tried to get when he hired Chuck Hayes.

To win a playoff series against the Memphises and Chicagos of the world, you need a player like JT.

Exactly and we want to be there soon. We have our coach and our All star squad. We have the pieces. Believe it or not JT is a key piece and im dam glad we didnt pawn him off in a firesale just for the sake of it.

He will be our most capped player and he will play a key role for us down the track. Watch this space

Ben is leaps and bounds better this season.

Last season he was statistically one of the worst starting players in the NBA. His poor play was costing the Kings wins. This year he is a dependable 3 and D guy who occasionally gives us a bit more. Any further growth to me is just gravy. And I think there will be a lot of gravy.

Let's give him proper credit, he pretty much was the worst SG in years.

This has been a remarkable improvement, and with his athleticism and age, who knows how good this guy will be.
