McLemore is one of the most talented scorers at the top of the draft this year. His biggest shortcoming is his questionable inner-circle and naïveté for the round-clock effort it takes to thrive in the NBA. Despite recent coaching and GM changes, The Magic have quite a stable organization with owner Rich DeVos and long time Vice President Pat Williams. If the duo was to give the go-ahead to Magic GM Rob Hennigan to draft McLemore, Orlando could be patient in helping build Ben’s maturity on and off the court. On the floor, McLemore would provide an instant jump shooting threat to space the floor for the growing skills of Nikola Vucevic and Tobias Harris.
