My Take
Ben McLemore's story interests me more than his stat line might suggest. A 196cm wing out of Kansas, taken seventh overall, he carried the weight of being a can't-miss prospect, then spent nine years and five teams proving he belonged. I don't read that as failure; reaching the NBA at all is rarefied air, and surviving nearly a decade in it takes real grit. The journeyman label gets used dismissively, but I see a player who kept finding ways to stay useful. There's a particular toughness in chasing a roster spot year after year, and I quietly admire it.
