If I remember correctly back on the ESPN forum a lot of people wanted to draft McLemore. Has he met any of your expectations?

kings are playing n a back to back. We should win this one. Lets go win this one.

For much of his college year, he was a consensus top 3 pick, and them scouts began to notice he had a tendency to disappear. I don't think anyone thought he would ever drop down to our pick though. Maybe there was discussion about trading up to get him, because for most of the year he was considered the best SG in the draft.

He hasn't been good at all this year...serious bust potential.

I like how Dante has been cutting to the basket more often lately

Are they worse at drafting than the Wolves? Seriously, the Thomas Robinson debacle in 2012, Fredette in 2011, McLemore last year. Bust, bust, bust?

Yeah, he seems to be playing with a lot more intensity. I wonder if there's something going on his personal life.

Yeah, they've been bad. In all fairness, though, I think most analysts thought McLemore was a steal at 7

I would think that dante realizes that after his arrest and medicore play so far, he will have a hard time getting another offer this off season and he is playing his butt off to try to get a contract next season.

up by 5 at halftime.

Kind of a lethargic and a joyless game to watch. Both teams doesnt seem to be playing with much energy or fun. Except for dieng who is 2 boards away from a double double. Cousins is a tough match up for him.

Weird that our bench got us the lead in this game.

Brewer only with 2 shots. Everyone seems to agree that it was a once in a lifetime game from brew and he is back down to earth tonight. Our starting back court has 0 points combined.

Really weird first half. No points from our starting backcourt, only four from Corey, and Love was 3-9. But we're leading because both point guards, yes even JJ, moved the ball well and Gorgui was awesome. Nice half for Luc and Dante too
