Nice move. Still another undersized guard but hopefully he can shoot. Would like a big wing defender. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

Not too familiar with him. Can someone shed some light on his abilities? His stats are ehh and he's having a rough year so far shooting the 3. How's his defense? _________________ “You can't be held captive by the fear of failure or the fear of what people may say.” - Kobe Bryant |

McLemore's 3PT Shot Making percentiles from
@The_BBall_Index
:
2015-16: 50th percentile
2016-17: 79%
2017-18: 30%
2018-19: 77%
2019-20: 94%
2020-21: 16% (so he's massively underperforming the shot quality he has)
That's one of the most up and down profiles I've seen. |

Good signing for what is currently available. High volume 3pt shooter which is needed. |

I don't think he is a good defender, but I'm interested to see how he does on offense. I didn't know he was was 6'3 tho. I thought he was taller. |

Any who I just learned that Mr. McLemore is Klutch. That explains a lot. |

This season’s Dion Waiters.
Don’t see him getting playing time from Vogel unless he steps his d up. _________________ |

So a younger/less problematic volume shooter which we got in JR Smith and Dion Waiters... but without the problematic nature.
Welp, let's hope he finds his shot here. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Well that is certainly a shocker!!! Lol
Hopefully he can start hitting shots and can play some passable defense.
Not sure I’m seeing the fit but I have an open mind about giving him a chance. Lakers can use a little boost about now.
Welcome to the Lakers. Now show us something! |

Sounds like a Laker already. This team is 6th in overall 3PT shot quality, and 25th in 3PT shot making. |

Klutch with 6 on the roster. Dude won't play much but I guess having a guy who can shoot iff the bench isn't a bad thing. |

McKinnie or Dudley could be on the way out now, Lance "Make em Dance" Stephenson is still available and we need a 3&D wing after we just got a big and 3pt shooter. |
