McLemore is expected to play alongside rookie shooting guard Nik Stauskas in certain lineups, the Kings' official website reports. "What I've seen is that Ben and Nik can play together without any problem. When you have two guys who have the potential to shoot as well as they do, it's going to pose problems for other teams," coach Michael Malone said.

Analysis:

McLemore struggled mightily last season after being selected seventh overall in the 2013 draft. He only managed 8.8 points per game and shot 38 percent from the field while playing 27 minutes per game. However, with the addition of Stauskas and the coach's plan on using the pair together, McLemore should see equal or even more playing time this season. His fantasy output should increase with Stauskas' ability to draw defenders and distribute the ball to his teammates.
