The Pacers have a need for shooting, and there are not many players in the league who are better pure shooters than Kyle Korver.

At the age of 36, Korver would be a short-term alternative at shooting guard, but he is a quality veteran who could help bridge the gap until Indiana finds a young player to develop at the 2.

Another advantage Korver potentially offers is affordability. He is seen as a specialist, and therefore has never made more than $6.7 million in a season.

Korver would be an ideal sixth man/part-time starter for the Pacers, who want to be as competitive as possible without breaking the bank to do so.

Kyle Korver has had a steady career as a three-point sniper, averaging 10 points per game over his 14 NBA seasons. He has led the NBA in three-point field goal percentage four times, and boasts an impressive 43 percent career mark from beyond the arc.

Korver is a solid pro who knows his role and plays that role very well — he would be a nice addition to an Indiana team that not only needs his skills, but could use some reliable veteran leaders now that the Paul George era has officially come to an end.
