Ben McLemore's the most important Sacramento King that nobody's talking about

Ben McLemore：最重要卻沒人談論的國王球員

When it comes to the Sacramento Kings, everyone has a favorite talking point.
There's Cousins-Karl, Rajon Rondo, Vlade's ballsy move to clear up space,
Vivek's ownership style, and that's just scratching the surface of the last
few months.

當人們說到國王隊，每個人都有喜歡談論的部分，卡爾表弟的關係、Rondo、老迪的操作
、阿三的管理風格等等，但這些都是過去幾個月發生的事情的表面而已。

But why is nobody talking about Ben McLemore?

但為什麼都沒有人提到Ben呢？

To be fair, McLemore hasn't done a whole lot to garner national attention.
McLemore's rookie year was particularly rough, with his shooting numbers
almost historically low for the amount of shots and minutes he got.   He was
also everywhere and nowhere on defense at the same time.  He couldn't dribble
the ball if it didn't involve a clear path to the hoop and he could barely
finish at the rim if it didn't involve dunking.

客觀地說，Ben是沒有做什麼值得全國注意的事，他的新人年尤其艱困，以他的出手數跟
上場時間來說，命中率數據幾乎是歷史性的低，在防守端也沒起到作用。沒有明確的切入
路徑他就不會運球，不灌籃的話他也幾乎無法進攻籃框。

Things changed greatly last year.  McLemore came back a much more
well-rounded player, having worked on all aspects of his game.  His True
Shooting Percentage (which takes into account 3 pointers) jumped up 7%.  He
got more creative around the basket: his FG% from 0-3 feet jumped from just
60% to 71.1%.  Defensively, he went from a huge liability to one of
Sacramento's more enthusiastic defenders, although he still lacked the
experience or consistency to be considered a good defender.

但上一個球季一切都不一樣了，Ben成為了一個全能球員，在各個層面都有所貢獻，他的
TS%成長了七個百分點，在籃框附近的攻擊手段也變多元，0~3呎的投籃中率從60%成長到
71.1%。在防守端，即使經驗跟穩定性讓他還稱不上是一個好的防守者，但至少從一個累
贅蛻變成國王隊最熱衷的防守者之一。

Overall, McLemore's sophomore outing was a pleasant surprise for Kings fans,
who finally got to see some of the promise that led to his lottery
selection.  His growth last year is a big reason I'm looking forward to
seeing how he comes out of the gates this year, especially since the third
year of a player's career is typically where you see a big leap.

整體來說，Ben的二年級賽季是球迷的一個驚喜，國王迷終於在他們眾多樂透選秀中又看
到了希望，他的成長讓我期待他接下來的突破，尤其第三年是傳統上的新秀爆發年。

McLemore's biggest problem to date has been consistency.  We've seen
stretches (especially last year) when he couldn't miss and would look like
the second coming of Ray Allen... for a quarter.  Then he wouldn't score for
the next 20 minutes.  If Ben can achieve that consistency and become a force
on both ends for the entire time he's on the court, or at least most of the
time, that's a big boost to Sacramento's productivity from an existing
player.  It's also a promising sign for Sacramento's long-term future, as the
Kings haven't really had a hit in the lottery since DeMarcus Cousins.

Ben目前最大的問題是穩定性，我們在上季可以看到在這一節化身成雷阿倫，然後在接下
來20分鐘都神隱，如果Ben如果可以把他的表現延伸到整場比賽，或至少大部分時間，那
國王就可以從現有球員身上得到相當大的貢獻，這也帶給國王隊未來的希望，這隻隊伍從
表弟之後，在樂透選秀都沒有什麼大的斬獲。

There's some promising signs that Ben can make the "third-year leap".  For
one, he's a notoriously hard worker, even attending Summer League mini-camp
this year of his own volition just to be able to work out with the guys.
From what I have heard behind the scenes, he's one of the most familiar faces
at the Kings' practice facility during downtime.  Ben also finally has some
veteran mentors to help him and learn from this year, as the Kings added guys
like Marco Belinelli and Caron Butler.

從一些徵兆可以看出Ben會在第三年爆發，第一，他的勤奮眾所週知，他參加了夏季聯盟
的mini camp，只為了能夠跟他的隊員們一起訓練，從我聽到的消息，他是在休息時間最
常出現在練習場館的臉孔。此外，他終於有一些老將可以當作他的導師，像是義大利人跟
吸管哥。

I can't wait for October to get here.  This has been an exciting summer for
Kings fans, as the team has added talent all across the board.  If Ben can
make the jump himself, that puts Sacramento all the much closer to being
relevant once more.

阿班跳的高，國王才會好。
