During his post-draft press conference, Kings general manager Pete D'Alessandro said that throughout the draft process they may have planted a seed for something in the future.
This of course, didn't happen, but McLemore is a player who the Kings front office had been protective of and made it clear last season that he was not available; but could he be now? D'Alessandro was asked about what drafting Stauskas, another shooting guard, meant about McLemore's future.
"He's [Ben McLemore] been working his tail off, that's the best way to say it, we're thrilled about what we're going to have with him. We see them as, we'd like to see them together," D'Alessandro said. "Nik is such a playmaking type of a combo guard and we can see them actually on the floor together at times, and as we see Ben advance defensively, which we fully expect with his athleticism, we could actually see him maybe switching over guarding some one, playing together and playing off each other."
Free agency also begins on Tuesday.
