Ben McLemore

If he's there I think you take him. The thing I love about Monty is that he's not too keen on rushing 20-year olds into big roles. We saw it with AD and Rivers (moreso with AD. Rivers was practically thrust into the role. Prior to Gordon playing, he averaged 29 minutes. When Gordon returned, he averaged 19).

I can see the same thing if McLemore, which I'm totally fine with. I think McLemore has the highest potential in the draft (along with Dipo) to be a gamechanger on BOTH sides of the floor. Maybe put Len somewhere there too (although I'm not too confident with that).

McLemore smells like the Token Highly Ranked Prospect Who Falls to Detroit's Annual 7th-9th Pick When He Is Precisely Their Team Need And Everyone Prematurely Congratulates Them On Winning The Draft of this year

My guess is he's Jason Richardson. Lots of 3s, good size/athleticism for his position, but ballhandling holding back an upside beyond solid starter.
