For clarity's sake:
MBP <--- TB3 cable w/ Power Delivery --> LG 5k Monitor with 3 extra USB-C Ports
(assumes there's a typo in the original post on the monitor model)
The monitor should be providing power to the MBP, so you have an extra TB/USB-C port on the MBP itself. And you have 3 USB-C ports on the LG monitor (total of 4 available ports). But, for simple setup, it makes the most sense to connect everything to the LG monitor for 1 cable connect/disconnect (just the TB3 cable).
So, as jdc say, if all the USB devices are lower power or self powered, you could get any old USB 3.0 hub with USB-A connectors and connect it to one of the LG's USB-C ports with your adapter. But, if you're buying a new hub anyway... I would just buy one that goes directly from USB-C to USB-A, such as:
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Aluminum-Ad...07DFYQXY7/
https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Adapter-Mac...0772TXG3H/
You also have the option of getting a "dock" style hub, that has other ports, like SD/Micro-SD reader, ethernet, HDMI all built-in, but that might all just be extra stuff you don't need.
