Kansas’s explosive 2012-13 scoring wing with NBA-shot upside
In the 2012-13 season, McLemore was a high-end Kansas guard who blended elite scoring burst, strong length on the perimeter, and real defensive playmaking, including a 36-point game that remains one of KU’s biggest single-game scoring outings in the Bill Self era.[1][3] He stood out for his smooth catch-and-shoot range, transition finishing, and overall two-way upside, which made him look like a pro wing even before the NBA draft.[3][4] If you want a team fit, he projects as a high-ceiling scorer—but off-court legal history is a major consideration in any evaluation.[2]
