Ben Mclemore
would be a great get for this team. Finally some him today for an entire game and there isn't a better wing in the country. Athletic, can shoot, and has good size

Re: Ben Mclemore

Re: Ben Mclemore
McLemore is the best off the ball SG prospect out there, which is what the Pistons really need.

Re: Ben Mclemore
I agree. I think he is almost a lock for top 5. He would be a terrific fit here. Knight/McLemore/Singler/Moose/Drummond sounds like a legit starting 5...

Re: Ben Mclemore
Pistons gotta keep losing to get him. Can't expect us to lose to Washington though - they're the drizzling ****.
Washington just drafted Beal, so even if they pick ahead of us, they're not taking a SG. They need a bigman.

Re: Ben Mclemore
I really think your guy is Archie Goodwin, fits perfectly with Knight. Mclemore is an off ball guard that needs a real playmaker which Knight isnt, Knight-Goodwin can share the ball handling duties and complement each other perfectly, one attacking the rim and other shooting

I like Goodwin as well, he's 1.5 years younger than Mclemore and similiarly athletic, he can get to the rim at well and has a decent jumper but he is ball dominant and plays out of control. He's got talent no doubt but I don't think he's as good of a fit as Mclemore, who I dont see him as a bad fit for Knight.
I dont think Knight plays well with another ball handing combo guard, because when he plays with Stuck, he is reduced to a spot up shooter while Stuck collides his way to the FT line. I dont think we necessarily need another ball dominant combo guard but Goodwins got some talent and if we can correctly mold him into a Russ Westbrook type player then thats great but Im starting to get weary of combo guards. We already have Stuckey and Knight, I want someone who is either a pure passing PG or a wing player.
