Phoenix Suns: 5 potential free agency targets in 2017

3. Ben McLemore

Hey look, another banished Kings 2-guard! Unlike Galloway, McLemore’s fate was decided for him when Sacramento decided not to pick up his fifth-year team option. Without the qualifying offer that would’ve made him a restricted free agent, the 24-year-old wing is now unrestricted.

To be certain, McLemore has largely disappointed in his early NBA career, averaging just 9.4 points per game on .417/.352/.780 shooting splits for his career. That’s not nearly enough production for a former No. 7 overall pick.

However, we’ve seen plenty of promising prospects fail to pan out while growing up in Sacramento, and McLemore could just be the poster child for the “right player, wrong place” syndrome that seems to have plagued every Kings draft pick except Boogie over the last decade.

Depending on the price tag and the level of interest around the league, the Suns could do worse in their search for depth at the 2-spot. McLemore is still young, could be signed to a cheaper deal, wouldn’t infringe on Booker’s status as the starter and could even wind up providing three-point range in a more established youth movement.
