Here’s a look at five potential landing spots for veteran shooting specialist Kyle Korver early on in 2017 NBA free agency.

Kyle Korver will be a highly sought after reserve player in 2017 NBA free agency. With deep three-point range, he is able to stretch the floor and force opponents to stay near him on the perimeter.

Korver does not need the basketball in his hands in order to be effective while on the court. This is particularly helpful when playing with teams that have established superstars.

Korver is able to offer a team veteran experience, deep range on the perimeter, and constant effort on both sides of the floor. He is able to garner up some rebounds but does not produce many blocks or steals. However, he is primarily on the court for his shooting ability and will have a job in the NBA as long as he can make shots.

After 14 years in the league, Korver is still healthy and able to contribute. He had a positive 2017 season and looks to keep that momentum going forward. While every team could use a shooter like Korver, there are five teams he could immediately make an impact for.
