Korver is a nine-year pro forward out of Creighton. He has spent his career with the Philadelphia 76ers, Utah Jazz, Chicago Bulls and the Hawks. After being a bench player for most of his career, Korver saw some starting time and was a key component to the Hawks in 2012-2013. He also hit a three-point basket in 73 consecutive games this past season, a streak that will continue into next year.
Korver averaged 10.9 points this past season, the most since the 2006-2007 year. He also averaged 4.0 rebounds, the most since 2004-2005 and he averaged 2.0 assists, the most since 2005-2006. He scored 810 points for the Hawks, pulled down 293 rebounds and dished out 146 assists, all those totals were also the most since the seasons listed in the averaged part. His best game of the year came on January 25th when the Hawks beat the Celtics, 123-111 at Philips Arena. In that game Korver scored 27 points, he hit eight shots from beyond the three-point mark. He also had six rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocked shots.
Korver is a free agent this off season and will most likely head elsewhere. He was disappointed when he got traded to the Hawks this past off season and he has already issued a statement on his twitter thanking Hawks' fans for their support this past season. Look for him to go to another team that has more potential for winning a championship than the Hawks do, or a possible return the Chicago, where he loved playing.
Kyle Korver had a miraculous season for the Hawks, particularly with his three-point shooting. He could be leaving during the off season via free agency though.
