About Ben McLemore

Ben Edward McLemore III is an American former professional basketball player. He played college basketball for the Kansas Jayhawks and was selected with the seventh overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft by the Sacramento Kings. McLemore played for five teams in the National Basketball Association (NBA) across a nine-year career. At the beginning of his college career, McLemore was considered to be either a late first-round or early second-round prospect. On February 1, McLemore missed his first game of his career due to a sprained right wrist, snapping his consecutive games streak at 211, which was the second-longest in the NBA behind Tristan Thompson (335). On August 6, 2023, McLemore signed with AEK Athens of the Greek Basket League and the Basketball Champions League, his first European club. He was recalled a week later, and made his debut for the Grizzlies on November 11, 2017, recording four points and two rebounds in 18 minutes off the bench in a 111–96 loss to the Houston Rockets.
