Kyle Korver
I saw that when the Sixers released their "players to protect list" for the expansion draft KK was on it. This is good news. He is probably the hardest working player on the team. He is here in OMaha already working out with the strength coach at Creighton Prep High school hoping to improve his cahnces at more playing time for next year. Do you think he could make a career of being a three-point shooter, a la steve kerr and others. I know his defense might be suspect, but he is working hard on quickness.

Heh that's what I'm more interested in. Considering the number of poor contracts on the Sixers that Charlotte would never even consider, I think that Korver was a pretty obvious guy to protect.
So cujays108, where's the list of who to protect? The Sixers don't exactly look like a prime candidate to have someone taken from them, but it'd still be interesting to see.

Sorry. I went back to look at what I had read again and it was just peculation from a Phill sports writer.

Oh well, no big deal -- like I said, the Sixers have plenty of contracts that Charlotte wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, so unless they do something bizarre then they shouldn't have to worry about having someone picked.

But I like Korver as an off-the-bench shooting spark. And they can work on his defense.

But, damn, give him props for even getting them up. He's small enough to have every shot contested. That 39% shooting sounds terrible to the regular reader, but have you seen these NBA players lately?"

You can make a nice living and be a real player as a mostly speciality shooter, if you can do other aspects at least reasonably well. Korver shows that promise. Dell Curry, Steve Kerr, both of the Person brothers, many others. You can't build around them, but with the right coaching and tactics, they can be a crusher to the other team in stints.

It should come out sometime soon I'd expect, since the expansion draft is June 22nd.

What else does Korver have to offer, besides his shooting??
Really??
I like Korver alot, but he is just a shooter right now. Does anyone see him being the type of player that makes plays in the lane?? I would love to see him develop into a Toni Kukoc type mold, but I don't think Korver has the athleticism to do so. He should work real hard and try to be the best shooter he could possibly ever be, because in all honesty right now, I think that is the best thing he will ever end up being.

I think the expectations of Kyle Korver are too high here. Kyle is a shooter off the bench at best, he's a good choice for a second round pick, best shooter in the '03 draft. His career will most likely just be a 7th, 8th man and maybe a season or two being a starter with some awesome shooting skills, but below average in all other aspects of the game.

Korver is a shooter, and that is all he his. But he is a GREAT shooter. He will develope into a Steve Kerr type player hopefully.
