8. Kyle Korver (Atlanta Hawks)

Entering the All-Star break, Atlanta Hawks’ swingman Kyle Korver was averaging 52.3 percent from behind the arc. If he continues making those shots at this rate, he’ll have the best three-point percentage in league history. His ability to drain shots from behind the arc also has an effect on his teammates, as he draws defenses away from them.

And on Sunday night, people tuning into the All-Star game was able to see that effect in play. Korver and his Hawks teammates led the comeback for the Eastern Conference All-Stars as they fought back from a big deficit. Korver put up 21 points, and made seven of his 12 long-range attempts.

He only attempted one shot inside the arc, which he promptly missed.
