5. Ben McLemore, Sacramento Kings

2013-14 stats: 8.3 ppg, 1.7 rpg, 0.7 apg

Okay, so McLemore didn’t have the best opening week, but he did step up in his last game. He dropped 19 points off the bench after shooting just 2-9 over his first two games. He hasn’t shot the ball particularly well and he will start hitting a lot of the shots that he is missing right now.

Marcus Thornton has started the year pretty slow, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see McLemore snatch the starting shooting guard spot if the trend continues.
