2011-12-13 04:11:55 | DraftExpress: Oak Hill junior Damien Wilson is some kind of athlete. Liking him a lot more than fellow wing Ben McLemore so far, who looks very very raw.
2011-01-15 09:17:55 | Major upset brewing at the Hangar as the undefeated St Louis Eagles are trailing 50-41 with 8 minutes to go. Bradley Beal, Ben McLemore, etc
2010-05-30 22:24:05 | Ben McLemore is intriguing. Great size/length/athleticism. Shows small flashes of many different skills. Still very raw though & no defense.

Somewhat underwhelming in the game we saw relative to his lofty recruiting rankings, Ben McLemore (#34 Scout, #17 Rivals, #39 ESPN) got lost in the shuffle a bit playing on a very deep and talented Oak Hill squad.
6-4 or 6-5, with very long arms, a strong frame and excellent athletic ability, it's not hard to tell what the recruiting services see in McLemore from a physical standpoint alone.
He also shows a very pretty shooting stroke, a strong first step, the ability to finish impressively in transition, and some very nice tools on the defensive end.
Beyond that, McLemore is very much a work in progress, as he seems to lack both the aggressiveness and ball-handling ability to make use of his impressive athleticism, and doesn't possess a great feel for the game at this stage of his career. His points come mostly in transition, from spot-up jumpers on the wing, and finishing any plays his teammates can create for him at the rim.
McLemore is a relatively inexperienced player relative to many of his peers, as he didn't play high-level AAU basketball until last spring, and only transferred to a major basketball school such as Oak Hill a few months ago. Based on the small glimpses he showed, and the accolades he's drawn, he's surely a player who is worth being patient with.
