During the 2016 offseason, the Sacramento Kings acquired shooting guards Arron Afflalo and Malachi Richardson to complement DeMarcus Cousins in the low post. That’s created a logjam at the 2.
As the No. 7 overall selection in the 2013 NBA draft, Ben McLemore, 23, has shown flashes of developing into a very talented player on both ends of the court.
Unfortunately for the Kings, McLemore hasn’t been consistent on a night-to-night basis, which in turn has put him on the trading block.
Kosta Koufos, Ben McLemore and, of course, Rudy Gay are three Sacramento Kings available via trade, according to league sources
