Ever since my co-expert, Nathan Chester, emphatically called Ben McLemore the “worst player for the Memphis Grizzlies,” the shooting guard has come to life.
What a coincidence!
Since the column, McLemore has found a rhythm from the field, as he’s averaging 14.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.8 steals over the past five games. In addition, he’s shooting 43.5 percent (10-23) from deep.
Take that for data, Nathan!
For real though, this is an interesting development for the Grizzlies. They signed him to be the starting shooting guard next to Mike Conley and Marc Gasol.
