The Los Angeles Lakers had a number of players to make a decision on as far as potentially bringing them back for another season. Ben McLemore didn’t spend a long time with the Lakers, joining the team in the middle of the season, but his talent was apparent.
Few players can get as hot as McLemore can in a short amount of time, as one made shot could turn into three in seconds. With the Lakers in need of shooting, it wouldn’t have been a major surprise if he were to return, but the Lakers have had their eyes on more veteran talent, and thus McLemore has looked elsewhere.
