McLemore may become the Kings' starting two-guard following Wednesday's trade of Marcus Thornton to the Nets.

Analysis:

The Kings host the Warriors on Wednesday, so we should soon learn whether or not coach Mike Malone commits to the rookie guard. McLemore hasn't logged more than 30 minutes since Jan. 22, a span of 12 games, and his splits as a starter -- 8.3 points (on 35.2 percent shooting), 3.2 rebounds, 1.2 threes, and 1.1 assists in 26.8 minutes -- don't forecast much success, as the second half begins.
