4. Kyle Korver

All Blake Griffin does is dunk, and all Kyle Korver does is shoot.

Short-sighted statements that barely scratch the surface of either players contribution to his squad — especially Korver. Last season he hit 185 3 balls, was first in 3-point field goal percentage (.472), first in true shooting percentage (.653), and 16th in offensive rating (117.6), all of which earned him the number 72 spot in ESPN’s player rankings.

Korver’s consecutive 3-point campaign last season took him from being grossly underrated to properly rated and respected. It will be interesting to see him as one of four options the opposition plans for this season. Every defender will want to prevent Korver getting his shot off on him, there’s a good chance Korver will jump into league stardom.
