Everyone knows how Ben McLemore’s season/career has gone so far. I’m not going to go into it in depth. There’s a reason that I haven’t made highlights of him yet (though I probably should’ve done his 18 and 17 point games, whoops), and that reason is because either he sucks so bad that the Kings can’t play him, or the Kings suck so bad that the Kings can’t play him. Someone is at fault.
But instead of thinking about all the stuff that has went wrong with him, let’s think about the stuff that has went RIGHT! He made the NBA. That’s a good start. Lots of dudes work really hard and don’t come close. He was a high draft pick. That’s also good. His second season in the league was decent. Things were looking up! Skip a few years, and now he’s scored 22 points in a game with 6 threes! Sweet! All negative feelings about Benny Mac have faded away, replaced with joyfulness at his rebirth as a basketball player!
