This came as a result of his brilliance in the NCAA men’s tournament. He led the University of Kansas Jayhawks to the Sweet Sixteen that same year.
McLemore has not played in the NBA since the 2021-22 season. And things seem to have gone very badly since then. According to TMZ, the former Sacramento Kings guard has been arrested and charged with rape.
