Ben McLemore - SG - Kansas
Ben McLemore is a 6'4" 195 pound redshirt freshman SG for Kansas. He turns 20 this February and is a very good athlete with great leaping ability and very good quickness.
Draft Express Profile He is very good at coming off of curls and hitting shots, shooting 44% from three. McLemore continues to improve his game as the season progresses. He is becoming more capable of handling the ball when defenders play him tight.

re: Ben McLemore - SG - Kansas
Athletic St. Louis kid who went to Oak Hill.
Probably KU's best option on offense, and plays ok if not good defense. Somebody's getting a player here.

re: Ben McLemore - SG - Kansas
He disappeared pretty good vs Oklahoma State 7pts on 25% shooting. He looked really timid and not willing to take over the game when his team needed him. He's only a freshman, but Marcus Smart doesn't seem to have that problem.

re: Ben McLemore - SG - Kansas
He is absolutely murdering West Virginia. 31 points on 12 shots with 10 minutes left in the game. It's a really special guard to go #1 overall, but this guy is doing everything he can to be in that group.

re: Ben McLemore - SG - Kansas
Great player. Better at home than road games. Most says he is a frosh but as a player yes but he redshirted first year and he was un system already think that helped him a lot. He said if he is not in hrdship he would stay ku one more year

re: Ben McLemore - SG - Kansas
Yeah, another guy that's almost certainly #1, no worse than #2, who would, in all likelihood, trail guys like Wiggins and Harrison next year, and be lucky to be picked #4.

Re: Ben McLemore - SG - Kansas
I think McLemore needs another season in college, but I wouldn't stay if I were him. His skills look very translatable, but I wouldn't take him 1st overall. Wouldn't it be great to have that Raptors pick jump super high and somehow the Thunder under up taking McLemore?

Re: Ben McLemore - SG - Kansas
People criticize him a little for being passive, but he started next to four seniors. I thought he got an appropriate number of touches. Some NBA fans who don't watch a lot of college basketball expect every highly touted prospect to look like Michael Jordan dominating a bunch of amateurs. It doesn't work that way.

Re: Ben McLemore - SG - Kansas
He could stand to improve his play in the clutch, and could also benefit from being the leader of a team. If he returned, he would not only be clearly their best player, but he would also probably be asked to step up as a captain. Cultivating that mentality could greatly benefit his game.
I agree he should leave though, he's in contention to be 1st overall pick and is basically a lock to go at worst Top 2.
