NBA Rumors: Lakers talk with Ben McLemore on opening night of free agency

The Los Angeles Lakers called Sacramento Kings free agent Ben McLemore in the opening hours of free agency, according to Ramona Shelburne of ESPN.

McLemore, the seventh overall selection in the 2013 NBA Draft, could be cheap, high-upside option for Los Angeles if he can turn into the type of shooter many projected him to be coming out of Kansas.

McLemore shot a career-high 38.2 percent on 3-pointers last season, and if he could continue that stroke he would provide a necessary dose of spacing for a 3-point shooting starved Lakers roster.
